The passage of the $900 billion stimulus plan over the weekend came after months of stalled negotiations between Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

TheGrio spoke with the California congresswoman Sunday evening (Dec. 20), shortly after a press call to go over the finer points of a particular portion of the package aimed at an important segment of the population.
