President Barack Obama was in Milwaukee on this Labor Day, announcing another plan to help stimulate the economy. This time, spending $50 billion to help rebuild roads, railways and airport runways. "This is a plan that will be fully paid for," the president said. "It will not add to the deficit over time."

Republicans have already attacked the plan, saying the U.S. economy doesn't need more government stimulus spending.

Markets were closed for Labor Day.

Today saw the end of a big money-making movie season. Hollywood hit record revenues this summer, drawing in nearly $4.5 billion, according to Hollywood.com. But the $100 million bump from last year didn't come from more people going to the movies but rather from higher ticket prices.

As the summer season nears an end in Coney Island, some residents and preservationists are upset that it may be the last summer for some of the oldest buildings there.
