US President Barack Obama has said his administration will be held accountable for the success or failure of his economic stimulus plan.
President Obama said all decisions about where to invest some $825bn (£607bn) would be made public and published on a new website.
Mr Obama made the pledge in his first weekly radio and internet address since taking office on Tuesday.
Mr Obama has said his recovery plan could clear Congress by mid-February.
'Lose a generation'
President Obama said the United States had found itself "in the midst of an unprecedented crisis that calls for unprecedented action".
He said: "Just this week, we saw more people file for unemployment than at any time in the last 26 years, and experts agree that if nothing is done, the unemployment rate could reach double digits.
"Our economy could fall $1 trillion short of its full capacity, which translates into more than $12,000 in lost income for a family of four. And we could lose a generation of potential, as more young Americans are forced to forgo college dreams or the chance to train for the jobs of the future."
The US unemployment rate is 7.2%, after 524,000 jobs were lost in December.
The number of job losses last year was 2.6m, the largest since World War II.
Mr Obama said the economic recovery plan "will save or create three to four million jobs over the next few years".
"This recovery plan must and will include unprecedented measures that will allow the American people to hold my administration accountable for these results," he said.
Mr Obama announced:
- More than 3,000 miles of new electricity transmission lines would be laid down to improve the US power network
- 75% of public sector buildings would be made more energy-efficient, saving taxpayers $2bn a year
- More than 2.5m homes would be "weatherized" (made more energy efficient),
- Funds would be made available to improve or renovate 10,000 schools
President Obama said: "Instead of politicians doling out money behind a veil of secrecy, decisions about where we invest will be made public, and informed by independent experts whenever possible.
"We'll launch an unprecedented effort to root out waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary spending in our government, and every American will be able to see how and where we spend taxpayer dollars by going to a new website called recovery.gov."
The recovery plan suggests more than 40% of the new jobs should go to women and 90% of them should be in the private sector.
This new economy.
Citizens good, partisans bad.

that you would conflate Obama with Hitler, tre' Zioniste...
a post designed to shape others perception based on agitprop and allusion, as opposed to showing objective reality.
The stench of Alex Jones Zionistas is upon you
i posted a BBC artice about the abominator.
Will you shut up when he attacks Pakistan?
That chance is zero, zilch & nada!
First you take D.C. Then you take New York (:
and the zionist puppets wo have been running that country? You know, the one who took it over in a military coup, Bush's friend? The notion that the US will stage a military invasion of the country has no basis in reality. They have been hitting targets in the badlands, the pashtun region, Karzai's opium smuggling routes out of Afghanistan.
Will you shut up until you are better informed??
Yap, start hauling those Pakistani dead bodies & bury 'em @ Rahmy's frontyard when it will have happening.
Why Sparky voted for the Obamassiah!
Part 1
Part 2
Koolaid Classics!
You can't be anti-Zionist and pro-Obama at the same time.
Obama is a Zionist. This is a documented fact. Do you disagree, Sparky? If so, why? On what grounds? What part of 'I am totally committed to Israel's security' and 'HAMAS [Palestinian resistance] is a terrorist organisation' do you not understand? Do you not believe Biden when he blatantly proclaims to you that "I am a Zionist"?
If you're pro-Obama, I can only assume that you've been pro-Bush for the last eight years. You're a Zionist-occupied government apologist.
If you are pro-Obama, Sparky, you're pro-Israel. End of story.
you know shit about Pakistan... easier to distract from your lack of actual insight by attempting to mock me?
Who the fuck did you vote for, McCain Palin? Wouldnt surprise me a bit
shit talkers actually vote for?
For your collection Sparky.
Enjoy!
In a world of whores.
After gettin nearly sunk delivering supplies to Gaze by the ziostan navy.
Any Questions?
one question, why didnt you agitate on her behalf if you are such a huge supporter?
*was the ONLY member of Congress to call bullshit on the official 911 conspiracy theory,
*Paid the price of being target by the zionist lobby for her 911 stance
* Never wavered one step in her support for the Palestinian people
*Is a true African American, the descendant of slaves captured in Africa and transported and sold by jews.
Barack Hussein Obama:
*Never did anything but spout the party line on 911,
*Expert at voting "Present",
*Ran a zionist funded campaign after pledging not to take private money
*Appointed Irgun blooded ziostaniac Rahm Emanual as his Chief of Staff as his FIRST appointment,
*Has surrounded himself with AIPAC approved sycophants,
*Is a natural born SUBJECT of the British Crown by virtue of his father who was the descendant of Arab slave traders,
*Turned his back on his Muslim faith that he recieved from his adopted Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetero,...Ad Infinitum, Ad Nauseum...
Fell free to respond.
and here
and too many more on this site and others to mention
I'm glad he did. Islam already has enough hypocritical miscreants that insult the religion.
Ever notice on the "debates" they have on the BBC, there's always some "former Islamist" who's ready to passionately speak about how Islam is going to take over the Western world?
American economy is going down this year in ways people can never imagine. The bulk of Americans who will suffer will remain voiceless & the popular, privileged sheeple will continue their Obama-adoration.
Anyone recall the Zio-puppet's speech where he managed to insult the working class, religion (thought he claims to be devout Christian), those against mass immigration & guns:
He's clearly referring to the Amish. Type: "Obama cling to guns religion Pennsylvania" in Yahoo & you'll get several sources.
He doesn't care about the little people, & he knows they will suffer.
"*Ran a zionist funded campaign after pledging not to take private money"
what the fuck does zionist funded campaign mean...i donated 85 bucks, so that makes me a zionist?
"Never did anything but spout the party line on 911,"
citation please...
*Expert at voting "Present",
are you using the neo-con's election propaganda of his having voted present on some procedural votes in the illinois senate? what point are you trying to make here that Sarah Palin failed to make...
"*Appointed Irgun blooded ziostaniac Rahm Emanual as his Chief of Staff as his FIRST appointment,"
"Irgun blooded"?? seek counseling soon...
*Has surrounded himself with AIPAC approved sycophants,"
Like when Feinstein and Rockefeller freaked out over the Panetta nomination to head the CIA? Seriously, do you know shit about AMerican politics? All evidence suggests NOT...
*Is a natural born SUBJECT of the British Crown by virtue of his father who was the descendant of Arab slave traders,"
here you loose all credibility with your neocon attack line...thinnest of gruel indeed, but keep repeating it, maybe you'll convince some fool...
*Turned his back on his Muslim faith that he recieved from his adopted Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetero,...Ad Infinitum, Ad Nauseum..."
Idiot...a faith isnt something you inherit like large ears... you are the lamest of propagandists...
"Fell free to respond."
That's right Sparky, your Obamassiah appointed a Chief of Staff whose parents were members of the terrorist Irgun. It doesn't get anymore green blooded zionist than that.
Hell Rahmbo was in the zGF (ziostan Genocide Force)
More KoolAid Sparky???
Yo Sparky - Kick it one tiiiiime!
you resort to snark?
You are an intellectual midget
that led Martin Luther to eventually take such a strident hard line against Jewry in general. You do your tribe no service withyour constant spew of bile.
according to protocol eh? you are right on cue...all the zio-clowns in unison now....
A: They both like to smoke Bologna!
