Pelosi leaves door open to second stimulus

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10, 2009 (Reuters) — U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday left the door open to another stimulus bill to boost the ailing economy, although economists were split over the need for one.

After meeting behind closed doors with prominent economists, Pelosi said that at the moment she would adopt a wait-and-see approach to a further economic stimulus, but noted that job losses would likely increase over the coming months.
