Speaker Pelosi and House Democratic leaders after the House passed the joint House-Senate conference report on HR 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The House approved the measure by a vote of 246 to 183, to save and create jobs, get our economy moving again, and transform it for long-term growth and stability. This legislation will jumpstart our economy, create and save 3.5 million jobs, give 95% of American workers a tax cut, and begin to rebuild America’s road, rail, and water infrastructure, with unprecedented accountability measures -- no earmarks, new state whistleblower protections, and an historic degree of transparency at www.recovery.gov.
