New InitiativesAmerican Recovery and Reinvestment Act

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009.

ARRA helps with job creation, spur economic activity, investment in long-term growth and foster unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in government spending.

Our American story is not -- and has never been -- about things coming easy. It’s about rising to the moment when the moment is hard, converting crisis into opportunity, and seeing to it that we emerge from whatever trials we face stronger than we were before.“

President Barack Obama
