Obama economic recovery site
p2pnet news view | P2P | Politics:- “Instead of politicians doling out money behind closed doors, the important decisions about where taxpayer dollars are invested will be yours to scrutinize.”
So says US president Barack Obama on a webpage explaining how the $787 billion American taxpayers will have to fork out to help bail America out of the George W. Bush recession will be spent.
Called Recovery, it, “lets you, the taxpayer, figure out where the money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is going,” it says, promising:
“There are going to be a few different ways to search for information. The money is being distributed by Federal agencies, and soon you’ll be able to see where it’s going – to which states, to which congressional districts, even to which Federal contractors.
“As soon as we are able to, we’ll display that information visually in maps, charts, and graphics.”
So, presumably, stay tuned.
For now, “We want to know how the economic crisis and this recovery program are affecting you,” it says on another page, adding:
“If you’re an employer, are they affecting your thinking about your business or personnel decisions? If you’re a student, are they affecting your choices for your education? If you’ve been looking for work, how is your job-search changing?
“In a few months, this site will allow you to peruse extensive data that will enable you to measure our progress.”
“But you don’t have to wait to leave a comment — use the form below to share your Recovery story now.”
