Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by
President Obama on February 17, 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.” With
