Stimulus bill journal
The major elements of the American recovery and reinvestment act of 2009 are that Obama started a $787 billion stimulus to save jobs and it has saved over 3 million jobs to help avoid depression. It has also cut taxes for 95% of Americans, bailed out every state and has funded more 100,000 projects to upgrade roads, schools, airports and much more. Another major element is to improve health care.
From Obama’s point of view the stimulus package is making a positive change by putting money into the economy and and programs to provide clean energy for the environment. The republicans think it is a negative change because they think that there would have to be a lot more money for a real change to occur and that it is just putting us in even more debt.
I think that even if one person is helped or one job is saved it’s a good thing and it has already helped over 3million people and funded many roads, airports and things like that but I can’t say that it has had a huge affect we have to give it more time but I like Obama’s effort because something needs to be done to help the economy.
