U.S. Treasury Department 100 Days Progress Report
4/29/2009

2009-4-29-9-54-2-11024
With meaningful tax credits putting money back into hardworking Americans' pockets,
strong leadership in the global economic crisis and new comprehensive programs that
help stabilize the economy, implementation of financial regulatory reform, and
Treasury's work with agencies across the government on issues like mortgage
foreclosure prevention – Treasury is acting to address all facets of this complicated
economic crisis. While there is still more work to be done, Treasury has accomplished
more in these first weeks than many countries accomplish in years, and we will continue
to work at an unprecedented pace to restore balance and growth to our economy.
From the beginning of this Administration, we have confronted extraordinary challenges: a severe recession here and around the world; a
catastrophic loss of trust and confidence in our financial system; unprecedented foreclosure rates; small businesses struggling to stay
afloat; millions of Americans worried about losing their jobs and their savings; and a deep uncertainty about what tomorrow holds. The
current economic challenges that the United States faces requires bold and comprehensive action. Treasury has responded to these
challenges with a number of programs and initiatives to reignite growth, restore our financial system, and strengthen the economy.
Historically, the Treasury Department has affected Americans in their daily lives in many different ways - it collects the taxes that build the
roads, funds health care programs and protects our security. But under this Administration and during these crucial times, Treasury is
helping individuals and families in even more immediate ways. With meaningful tax credits putting money back into hardworking
Americans' pockets, strong leadership in the global economic crisis and new comprehensive programs that help stabilize the economy,
implementation of financial regulatory reform, and Treasury's work with agencies across the government on issues like mortgage
foreclosure prevention – Treasury is acting to address all facets of this complicated economic crisis. While there is still more work to be
done, Treasury has accomplished more in these first weeks than many countries accomplish in years, and we will continue to work at an
unprecedented pace to restore balance and growth to our economy.
