Decisive Vote Says Congress Should Pass Obama’s Jobs Plan- Piece By Piece At Intelligence Squared U.S. / Open to Debate

Last night NYU’s Skirball Center saw an overwhelming victory for the Open to Debate formerly known as Intelligence Squared U.S., Congress Should Pass Obama’s Jobs Plan Piece By Piece. According to the final votes, Cecilia Rouse and Mark Zandi won the debate by convincing 24% of the audience to change their minds to support the motion, thus winning the Oxford-style debate. They argued Obama’s jobs plan is a necessary step toward avoiding another recession and stimulus legislation will stem an economic downturn.
