Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to Motley Fool Money. Thanks for being here.

I'm your host, Chris Hill, and joining me in studio this week from Motley Fool,

Hidden Gems, Seth Jason, from Motley Fool Income Investor, James Early,

and for Million Dollar Portfolio, Ron Gross.

Guys, good to see you.

Great, thank you.

Last week we had personal finance expert Clark Howard.

This week we've got our own retirement expert, Robert Brokamp,

with some tips on how to make your money go farther.

We've also got the latest on Bank of America, Yahoo, Google, and more,

but we will begin with the big macro.

President Obama went before Congress this week to unveil

his $447 billion jobs plan to stimulate the economy.

Ron, a lot of proposals, the president is proposing an extension

of the payroll tax cut and $140 billion for modernizing schools

and improving infrastructure.

What do you think of the plan overall?

I thought the plan looked good.

Obviously there's some politics here.

Yes.
