America Recovery and Reinvestment Act
I believe the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act is on the right road for our country's recovery. However, I would like to suggest that, we must have very close monitoring funds and proposed activity. I believe, surveillance by objectives will give the best results and the easiest method to monitor and duplicate service(s).I believe the this task was assigned to the Vice President Joe Biden and I understand the confidence you/we have in Vice President Biden to get the job accomblished; Collaborative operations or cross operations would give higher yeild or maximumize the dollars spent. If the VP need back-up, I will bring his daughter and mama Biden and we will get the job done; that is the nurse/socialogist, social worker and mama Biden to the rescue - smile)
I have seen several disadvantages to "free money" or grants - 1. Usually, NO on site inpropumt monitoring and if present it was Not objectively done
2. Mmanagers depend on volunteer for many positions that should be a paid staff position
3.Repeated funding to the same groups without improvement stats; understanderable that it is possible for an increase to occur if one focus on an issue but, the same problem should not continue to increase.
Therefore,a new assessment of the provider and service(s) provided should be done - as an example;
increase in HIV/AIDS;
decreases in education across the board (faculty & students);
decrease in health care quality,accountability &responsibility increase in ilegal drug users & suppilers.
I am will and available to work for an IMPROVED AMERICA, please refer to my needs requested on 2-24-09.

I think you should give some of the money back to the people, because they'll spend it, thus jump starting the economy.
how it changed
OBAMA MY GRANDMA REALLY LIKES U AND SHE THINKS U MADE A REALLY BIG DIFFERENTS AND I AM ONLY 8 YRS OLD AND I CAN TELL U ARE WWAAY OLDER THAN ME I LOVE YOU BECAUSE WELL UMMMMMMMMMM BECAUSE U MAKE A VERY BIG DIFFERENTS
NAUTTII COUNCIL
The bill does call for huge investments in the grid, and Obama's all about accountability to the public. Part of the bill creaties recovery.gov which will track and report on every dollar of the bill right down to the local projects its being spent on, making it very difficult for politicians at any level to lose track or siphon it waway from getting where it's intended to go.

$1,000 tax cut
Just so you all know, Obama has already backed out of the $1,000 tax cut. He's saying sometime in the next couple of years. So you better hope he keeps his other promises because so far besides the tax cut he's backed out of a couple of other promises too. Let's hope he can change things but it seems to typical presidential nominees, making promises during the election and never following through.
electrical power distribution system
I agree completely with willi meuller's posting (except for the all caps). A new high voltage direct current transmission line system will save our country over $80billion annually by eliminating costly power interruptions that affect our economy. See http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/EETD-power-interruptions.html
You can see how investing the estimated $60billion over ten years to create a 19,000 mile grid of 765kV lines would pay for itself very quickly. Our country sends about $880billion to foreign countries for oil every year (know anywhere where that money could be used in the U.S?). The new electrical grid would help us transfer power from solar and wind sources to population centers around the country. See http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=53193
