Sonu VargheseHOST
I would argue even 2021 inflation, we had a lot of inflation.
Sonu VargheseHOST
That was after the American Recovery Act, right? Like, with, uh, President Biden-
Ryan DetrickHOST
Yep
Sonu VargheseHOST
... you know, issuing a ton of more stimulus checks.
Leah C. StokesGUEST
And some of the things that I think really mattered are the first bill that they pass, you know, in Congress, Joe Biden is elected, they get the majority.
Leah C. StokesGUEST
Well, they pass, the first thing they try to do is the COVID recovery bill, right? The American Recovery Act.
Leah C. StokesGUEST
And That bill includes an enormous amount of spending to help people.
Leah C. StokesGUEST
And Joe Manchin gets pushed pretty hard to pass that bill by Schumer.
Steve SoleyHOST
What got completely excised from Part 16?
Ellie SewellHOST
The main regulatory deletion is former 16.505 A11, which mandated publicizing requirements for orders funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Ellie SewellHOST
That entire requirement was deleted as obsolete.
Steve SoleyHOST
[lips smack] Uh, okay, so did they delete anything else from the text?

[lips smack] Uh, okay, so did they delete anything else from the text?
Erin BorlaHOST
Right.
Tom VilsackGUEST
Uh, we ended up getting resources from the American Rescue Plan, uh, the Recovery Act.
Tom VilsackGUEST
I d- I get those two confused because of the two, two administrations I served under.
Tom VilsackGUEST
But we got resources and we got flexibility, and so our focus was, was really pretty much on, on using those resources and leveraging those resources.
Juliet JeskeHOST
Barack Obama inherited a recession caused by the 2008 financial crisis.
Juliet JeskeHOST
Obama, with the help of Congress, managed to turn things around partly with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Juliet JeskeHOST
Bill Clinton also started his presidency with a sluggish GDP growth and high unemployment leftover from the George H.W. Bush administration.
Juliet JeskeHOST
During his presidency, the U.S. had one of the strongest economies in recent history.
David DemingHOST
He worked in the White House during the entire Obama administration, including as the chair of the president's Council of Economic Advisers from 2013 to 2017.
David DemingHOST
And he was one of the chief architects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which helped us climb out of the depths of the Great Recession.
David DemingHOST
Jason is now a contributing writer at The New York Times.
David DemingHOST
and the faculty director of the Mosavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government here at Harvard.
Sam SteinGUEST

Sam SteinGUEST
They had...
Sam SteinGUEST
I mean, it was obvious from the database, but they just assumed it was funds through, like, state agencies, 'cause the money was just siphoned through those state agencies.
Jeff St. JohnSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I joined GTM in two thousand eight, right at the cusp of the first big clean tech investment bubble, and then cut my teeth on covering that bubble's bursting, which was a bit of a misdirection, I think, in terms of the underlying trends on coal that you've described.
Jeff St. JohnSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then we were thrust into the Obama administration's efforts to rejuvenate what we're now calling the energy transition in the form of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, but that was an economic rescue, right? With clean technology development playing a role, but as a subcurrent to the broader attempts to prevent the Great Recession from becoming something worse.
Chris NelderHOST
Right.
Jeff St. JohnSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so we were publishing artwork by authors like you and publishing analysis from groups like RMI, which supports Canary Media, and on concepts like grid defection and load defection.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
And again, I'm going to take you back in time.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
If you remember during the Obama administration, his American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, one of the big things when he was pushing was

high-speed rail, high-speed rail,
Chris MarkowskiHOST
high-speed rail.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
A lot of things that sound really, really good.
Chris MarkowskiHOST
Again, a lot of the suggestions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are things that like – Freshmen in college would come up smoking out of the skull bong with the tapestry on their wall.
