The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009
(Recovery Act) was signed into
law by President Obama on
February 17th, 2009. It is an
unprecedented effort to
jumpstart our economy, create or
save millions of jobs, and put a
down payment on addressing
long-neglected challenges so our
country can thrive in the 21st
century. The Act is an
extraordinary response to a
crisis unlike any since the
Great Depression, and includes
measures to modernize our
nation's infrastructure, enhance
energy independence, expand
educational opportunities,
preserve and improve affordable
health care, provide tax relief,
and protect those in greatest
need. |
