FORT MYERS, Fla., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- The breadth of the recession requires a big, bold plan to help right the U.S. economy, President Barack Obama told a Fort Myers, Fla., crowd Tuesday.
If nothing is done, economists of all stripes have warned of double-digit unemployment rates, more home foreclosures, more people losing health insurance to a point where "our nation will sink into a crisis that at some point is going to be that much tougher to reverse," Obama told about 1,500 people at the Harborside Event Center.
