In 2008, the country was reeling from a recession, and to rebuild and recover, Congress passed a “stimulus” bill to help the country with countless “shovel-ready” projects that would put people back to work, and help the economy. President Obama observed then – that we need “shovel ready” projects to jump-start the economy. While some projects succeeded, many did not because in reality, being “shovel ready” is often impossible. Why? Governmental delays. President Obama concluded that when it comes to “shovel ready, there’s no such thing.”
Fast forward to 2023 and President Joe Biden passed the American Rescue Act, and more recently the Inflation Reduction Act. The bipartisan bills have many things for many people.
