UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden says the year-old federal Recovery Act that has pumped billions in stimulus dollars into the economy is working, disputing Republican claims it has failed.
Biden was scheduled Tuesday to tour a college job training center, and is to visit a small business and a solar factory in the economically struggling area around Saginaw, Mich., that all received stimulus money.
He told a gathering on the Delta College campus that he refuses to accept the notion that the U.S. won't be the world's economic leader through the 21st Century.
Biden on Wednesday is scheduled to present President Barack Obama a report assessing the effects of the $787 billion stimulus.
