TIME magazine published an article in late August, How the Stimulus is Changing America, and it discusses where the Recovery Act money went and how it's still being used today. This article immediately piqued my interest because its something I've wondered about for a long time.
The article says how the stimulus package was of course put into place to help create jobs but also how it had long term goals of saving our environment and transforming healthcare and education. It talks about about how the Recovery Act was really doing more than any other plan in place to target our energy usage and how it is targeting change in our nation long-term. Change can't be made overnight, and while it is hard that there are so many people jobless right now this stimulus package did supply a lot of people with work and is making a change, just not as quickly as the public would like.
