Recovery.gov is live – Beginning of an end
Today Mr. President has signed $787 Billion (a much debated, talked about) stimulus plan i.e. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is in effect from today.
As a part of this initiative an unprecedented move has been made by Mr. President to make this process of recovery transparent to everyone who has access to web. Recovery.gov is live from today and it has very neat and clean interface.
The details of the bill can be read from here.
This bill includes spending money in almost every sector and it is shown on the home page
The allocation of fund in other form as shown below
I liked the milestone part the most which is shown on the home page of Recovery.gov – all major dates when a particular action will be taken/occur is plotted on a draggable calendar
As Mr. President has said today, this plan is the “Beginning of an End” and we can’t expect it to change the situation instantly, it will take time to solve problems( housing problem, financial market to solve credit crisis, creating jobs, innovations in science and technology). The purpose of this site is to show where and how the government is spending Tax payer’s money.
