I love getting emails from the President. This one linked to a new website called Recovery.gov and a video of President Obama talking about The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which, he says, will be carried out with "full transparency and accountability."
How?
A newly developed website called Recovery.gov is where you can track how the monies are being spent.
Today, I signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law.
This is a historic step — the first of many as we work together to
climb out of this crisis — and I want to thank you for your resolve
and your support.
You organized thousands of house meetings. You shared your ideas and
personal stories. And you informed your friends and neighbors about the
need for immediate action. You continue to be a powerful voice for
change throughout the country.
The recovery plan will create or save 3.5 million jobs, provide tax
cuts for working and middle-class families, and invest in health care
and clean energy.
It's a bold plan to address a huge problem, and it will require my vigilance and yours to make sure it's done right.
I've assigned a team of managers to oversee the implementation of the
recovery act. We are committed to making sure no dollar is wasted. But
accountability begins with you.
That's why my administration has created Recovery.gov,
a new website where citizens can track every dollar spent and every job
created. We'll invite you and your neighbors to weigh in with comments
and questions.
