and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act)
"The 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. Learn more on recovery.gov <
