Overview of the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). 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.
