You are being a stickler with the word "recovery". The full name is actually the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Did it not reinvest too? Got a cab analogy for that? Got news for you, the Clean Air Act was designed to control air pollution, not make the air entirely clean. It's just a name.
