Recovery Act Has Put People Back To Work

And there is a lot of money out the door over $20 billion is out the door, and almost 7,000 projects are funded. And many of them underway.

I believe that if you look around your districts, and I say this to every member, and you go to these projects, and you talk to people that are working, what they'll tell you is they were on an unemployment roll in January and February. And now they can make their house payment, make their car payment, put food on the table for their families. That could not have happened without these funds. And I thank Congress for the courage to pass this kind of opportunity for America. We are putting people to work.
