Recovery & Reinvestment Act

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is an unprecedented effort to jump-start our economy, create or save an estimated 3.5 million jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so that our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Recovery Act is an extraordinary response to an economic crisis unlike any since the Great Depression. With so much at stake, the Recovery Act provides for unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability so that you will be able to know how, when, and where your tax dollars are being spent. Spearheaded by a new Recovery Board, the Recovery Act contains built-in measures to root out waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary spending.
