On yesterday's episode of “This Week in Business,” Congressman Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, joined hosts Paul Guzzi and Mike Nikitas to discuss government's role in today's economy.  In the our 'Cover Story' segment, he predicts the next stimulus package may include some sort of permanent tax relief.

Joining Paul&Mike once again in the 'Briefing Room' segment, Congressman Frank talks about worldwide efforts to stem the crisis, and a published report that two Hedge Funds may not comply with the $700 billion rescue bill.

On the business beat, Peter Howe looks at why Jetblue is expanding in Massachusetts, and why business leaders in Massachusetts are asking people to vote ‘No’ on Question 1.
