THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

________________________________________

For Immediate Release February 17, 2009

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The White House today released state-specific details on the local impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a nationwide effort to create jobs, jumpstart growth and transform our economy to compete in the 21st century. The compromise package of $789 billion will create or save 3.5 million jobs over the next two years. Jobs created will be in a range of industries from clean energy to health care, with over 90% in the private sector.

Below are links to tables and fact sheets outlining the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The estimates are derived from an analysis of the overall employment impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act conducted by Christina Romer, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Jared Bernstein, Chief Economist for the Vice President, and detailed estimates of the working age population, employment, and industrial composition of each state.

1. There are some very positive numbesr in there. But the media keeps talking about

Burris, A-Rod, the 8 babies, politics from the repig viewpoint.

[CitizenPatriot]

2. yeah, but they aren't talking about Cantor, are they?

they make me sick.....

meanwhile, back in Journalism with Integrity, let's hope someone covers this bill so the American people can get a good idea of what exactly it will do for their areas/families/etc.

[No Elephants]

3. Journalism with integrity? Does that exist outside Memory Lane?

[harun]

4. I don't see any positive coverage.

[kmac3]

15. Not seeing positive coverage . . .

Nor do I ... But if there is any adverse conditon created by any one segment of this package you better believe it will be on MSM 24/7!
As stated before, MSM does not cover news ... it propagates Republican idealism!

[Highway61]

11. Bingo! n/t

[EnviroBat]

17. Funny. I'm still not hearing much about the republicans failed foreign

policies which put us in this situation in the first place. Namely, the two giant, sucking wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Guess the republican controlled media wants to keep all that swept neatly under the carpet in these difficult economic times...

[Turborama]

5. Economic Stimulus Graphic

[Thor_MN]

8. Since the rethugs keep calling it a spending bill, time to press home Tax Cuts ARE spending

Cutting Taxes have the same effect as spending on the Federal budget. So while the GOP like to say "Tax and Spend" about Dems, that's a hell of a lot saner than their "Tax Cut and Spend". It's their unsound economic policy ("spend and spend" and the moronic "Supply Side" nonsense) that got us into this mess.

Bottom line, Tax Cuts are spending.

[Brgotn]

18. It Depends

on how you look at it. In reality the money doesn't belong to the government, it belongs to the people. I am afraid that as a party we are forgetting that. Somehow we have come to think that we can take as much as we want from the people without any negative effects. Even JFK gave tax cuts to help the people but sadly this is a different Democrat party now.

[GinaMaria]

19. That hasn't been forgotten

this package was supposed to be our money being used to help us. Unlike, our money being used to prop up greedy bankers.

Not all tax cuts are created equal. Repig tax cuts do very little to stimulate the economy. The type of tax cuts that repigs hate are the ones that do the most good. Big shock.

[Towlie]

20. "Democrat Party"? Did you know that Senator Joe McCarthy popularized that term?

I wonder how sincere you are when you say "we", Brgotn.

21. DEMOCRAT-IC PLEASE.

Your influences are showing.

[zeemike]

12. If the tax relief goes mostly to those that need it

Then that graph looks about right to me.

[phillyindependent]

14. I do have a question regarding the "Tax Relief".

If you look a the asterisk it states:

Tax Relief - includes $15 B for Infrastructure and Science, $61 B for Protecting the Vulnerable, $25 B for Education and Training and $22 B for Energy, so total funds are $126 B for Infrastructure and Science, $142 B for Protecting the Vulnerable, $78 B for Education and Training, and $65 B for Energy.

Those totals add up to 534 Billion, not the labeled 288 Billion. Also in which category does our $400 "stimulus" check come from?

[Turborama]

16. They all add up to $787 billion, which is the Stimulus' total

Welcome to DU BTW :hi:

[phillyindependent]

23. The bubble charts adds up to 787...

But under the asterisk, the 288 becomes 534 billion with listed tax rebates. Just wondering why?

Thanks for the welcome :toast:

[Turborama]

24. I'm not sure where you've got the 534 billion from...?

[phillyindependent]

25. Go to recovery,gov...

click on the chart title "where is your money going". Now you should see the same "bubble chart" posted here. Notice that "tax relief" has an asterisk. Scroll down to the bottom of that "bubble chart", and you see the asterisk defined. It adds up to 534 billion...not 288.

[Turborama]

26. Aahhh, I got the bubble graph from a different location

I got it from here and hadn't seen it on recovery.gov yet
http://redgreenandblue.org/2009/02/17/obama-signs-stimulus-bill-launches-recoverygov/


I don't get those numbers either. Anyone else?

[Cant trust em]

22. These graphics coming out earlier could have saved us a lot of headache. NT

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Glad to be the 5th rec

And it will be up to "the people" to spread the good news via the internet and word-of-mouth to family, friends, and co-workers. You just have to do like Obama - go RIGHT to the people and ignore the propagandists. This whole package is against the agenda of the lunatic fringe, RW-biased M$M corporate shills.

[boobooday]

7. This is exciting. Thanks for posting

It looks like I may not lose my job after all. Seriously.

Bailing out our states is a much better idea than bailing out the banks whose usurious practices bankrupted us all.

[bdamomma]

9. the states need help more.

[Oilwellian]

10. That's the key

I know my husband's job is probably a little safer with this help coming.

[AllyCat]

13. The health care plan is not much help

The tax credit to pay for COBRA shows this Admin and Congress are out of touch with average Americans again. When COBRA costs 83% of a family's unemployment check, a tax credit ain't gonna help. The Repukes have done a fine job watering this down.
