As I Recall When Obama Was President & He Signed The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Of 2009.......

Everywhere in the country that a project was being worked on as a result of that Act - there were signs posted that this project was funded by an Act signed into law by President Barack Obama.

Here is a description of that Act:

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 111–5 (text) (PDF)), nicknamed the Recovery Act, was a stimulus package enacted by the 111th U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in February 2009. Developed in response to the Great Recession, the primary objective of this federal statute was to save existing jobs and create new ones as soon as possible. Other objectives were to provide temporary relief programs for those most affected by the recession and invest in infrastructure, education, health, and renewable energy.

I'm wondering if President Joe Biden is taking enough credit - by posting similar signs on projects being funded by Joe Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law?

If he isn't taking credit for the passing of that Bipartisan Infrastructure Law by using similar signs - I believe he's missing a golden opportunity to get the word out that these projects are at the skills and leadership of Joe Biden as President.

I remember when road building was going on in my area when Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - I saw those signs posted everywhere - that President Obama was responsible for these projects.

I don't see signs like that these days - giving credit to Joe Biden.

Am I just missing seeing them or aren't they taking advantage of this opportunity to take credit these days?

It's possible there just isn't any development in your area. But each development created by his infrastructure act has a sign announcing it:

I might be isolated from where these projects are being worked.

I'm glad they are using these signs.

I want to make sure Joe gets all the credit he deserves.
