Overview of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act)
On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Recovery Act is an unprecented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so that 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.
