Side-by-Side Comparison of the Stimulus Package

The House of Representatives and the Senate passed versions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. There were significant differences between the two versions, especially in terms of the nature of the investment in children. Fortunately, during the conference between the House and the Senate, many of the reductions to children’s programs and tax provisions were either fully or partially restored.
