1.  This bill is supposed to help make more jobs, go green, improve health care and the school systems. This plan is in action because we spend so much money and so dependent on other countries for oil that we are trying use other efficient ways to save energy.

2. In Presidents Obama's view this act is for a positive change because going green can save us from costing us a lot of money and creating new jobs helps the unemployed.  The Republicans point of view is that this act is just wasting money.

3. I think this bill is still in working process and with time that the act will help the economy. We can't expect is switch over and expect change at an instant. This bill has made many programs, change to clean energy, and cut a large percentage of taxes.
