The American Recovery and reinvestment act was made because they plan to end the recession before it is a depression. To create jobs with more then 100,000 projects. Revise and improve the health care with computerized systems. WorK on global warming by creating clean energy and a new electrical grid system and weather proofing. To bail out the auto industry. To fund an educational program race to the top, Along with improving transportation by creating energy smart ways to travel.

Obama's view is that it creates jobs and gets americans bacK to worK, decrease foreign dependancy on oil. His goal is to double renewable energy by 2012. They will finance energy research as well. The republicans want a list of what the money is spent on, and thinK that it will not create change.

I feel liKe clean energy is worth spending money on. With the world going as fast as it is, we are always using a lot more resources so renewable energy is a good investment. The world is changing and we need to catch up with it. The race to the top, for eduction hasn't been even considered to be funded until now with the stimulus. This will encourage people to re invent the want for education. If we continue to do the same thing nothing will get better. So change in necessary and if we fail we can try again and try new things, but until then this is our project.
