                          United States Congress
 
          The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 
               Creating Jobs, Supporting the States and Investing in Our Country’s Future
                                                         
The United States is facing its deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression, one that calls for
swift, bold action. The goals of this legislation are the same as they have been from day one: to
strengthen the economy now and invest in our country’s future.

This legislation will create and save jobs; help state and local governments with their budget shortfalls to
prevent deep cuts in basic services such as health, education, and law enforcement; cut taxes for working
families and invest in the long-term health of our economy. We do all of this with unprecedented
accountability, oversight and transparency so the American people know their money is being invested
responsibly.

To accomplish these goals, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides $311 billion in
appropriations, including the following critical investments:

       Investments in Infrastructure and Science - $120 billion

The goals of this legislation are the same as they have been from day one: to strengthen the economy now and invest in our country’s future. This legislation will create and save jobs; help state and local governments with their budget shortfalls to prevent deep cuts in basic services such as health, education, and law enforcement; cut taxes for working families and invest in the long-term health of our economy. We do all of this with unprecedented accountability, oversight and transparency so the American people know their money is being invested responsibly. To accomplish these goals, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides $311 billion in appropriations, including the following critical investments:  Investments in Infrastructure and Science - $120 billion  Investments in Health - $14.2 billion  Investments in Education and Training - $105.9 billion  Investments in Energy, including over $30 billion in infrastructure - $37.5 billion  Helping Americans Hit Hardest by the Economic Crisis - $24.3 billion  Law Enforcement, Oversight, Other Programs - $7.8 billion Investments in Infrastructure and Science include: Infrastructure Improvements ‐ $7.2 billion for Broadband to increase broadband access and usage in unserved and underserved areas of the Nation, which will better position the U.S. for economic growth, innovation, and job creation. ‐ $2.75 billion for the Department of Homeland Security to secure the homeland and promote economic activity, including $1 billion for airport baggage and checkpoint security, $430 million for construction of border points of entry, $210 million for construction of fire stations, $300 million for port, transit, and rail security, $280 million for border security technology and communication, and $240 million for the Coast Guard. ‐ $4.6 billion in funding for the Corps of Engineers. ‐ $1.2 billion for VA hospital and medical facility construction and improvements, long-term care facilities for veterans, and improvements at VA national cemeteries.
