By SPA

Washington : President George W. Bush and top congressional leaders are looking for quick agreement on how to pump as much as $150 billion (¤103.6 billion) in tax cuts and government spending into the ailing economy to head off a recession.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and leaders in both parties are scheduled to meet with Bush on Tuesday to discuss a stimulus bill providing tax rebates, business tax cuts and funding for a Democratic-led call for additional food stamp and employment aid, according to a report of the Associated Press.
