Emblems to Stamp Projects Funded by the Stimulus Package
March 03, 2009 2:09 PM
ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:
Put a stamp on it -- that’s what the White House says.
President Obama announced today that his administration will begin stamping an emblem on projects funded by the economic stimulus package so that people can easily recognize the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
All projects will be stamped with the ARRA logo (short for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and lists the recovery.gov website on the emblem.

In remarks at the Department of Transportation this morning, Mr. Obama referenced the new emblems.
“We’re also making it easier for Americans to see what projects are being funded with their money as part of our recovery. So in the weeks to come, the signs denoting these projects are going to bear the new emblem of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Obama said. “These emblems are symbols of our commitment to you, the American people -- a commitment to investing your tax dollars wisely, to put Americans to work doing the work that needs to be done. So when you see them on projects that your tax dollars made possible, let it be a reminder that our government -- your government -- is doing its part to put the economy back on the road of recovery.”
Obama, who was at the Transportation Department to highlight the 150,000 specific jobs that would be saved or created under highway spending from the recovery act, also said that transportation specific projects would don a second emblem - bearing the word TIGER (short for Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery).

Good grief! Does this mean all those new Chevys and Cadillacs will have this logo stamped on the trunk lid?
Sorry, National Recovery Administration.
Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
Oooh, a shovel-ready President.
Thanks!
The only real difference between national socialism and national communism is the style of repression and the rhetoric. The net effect is about the same.
This Third World crapola is going to get old fast.
“Good grief! Does this mean all those new Chevys and Cadillacs will have this logo stamped on the trunk lid?”
Cadillacs and BMWs or Lexuses (Lexi?). No self-respecting affirmative action aristocrat would be caught dead in a mere Chevy.
LOL
“Work Will Make You Free” was the German saying on the gate to Auschwitz...
didn’t we have a stamp act once, and didnt it start a war?
Yeah, but that was a real tax. Not that this isn't.
I guess we should put one of those stamps on the stock market as the Obidiot has really stimulated change in that area.
he NRA eagle *hits again!
What a wuss!!!!!!!
Where is the hammer? Where is the sickle? There should be a Red Star or a profile of Marx.
