The program for tax cut to revitalize the American economy was approved by congress on the year 2009, thirteenth of February. It then became law after president Obamas ascent. The bill faced opposition from Republicans and only 3 supported it. The package was worth a massive 787b dollars. It included tax cuts, expenses on roads, learning, health care, power sector and other undertakings.

The stimulus package was aimed at reversing the decline of the countrys economy. The proponents hypothesized that 2 to 3 million jobs would be created and enhance decrease in consumer expenses. The package would help to refurbish the countrys infrastructures, support the local learning institutions having financial hardships and support the development of fresh and current ways of transport (Reusche, 2009). It would also boost unemployment settlements, boost health care for the country forces and ensure food security to cater for the poor. Tax cuts allow people to either spend more or acquire government bonds using their money at the advantage of the program. Due to increased criticism of the program, Obama stated that he was open to compromise. The stimulus package offered mortgage to individuals purchasing new homes, a different tactic from previous programs.
 
However, those against the program argued that the idea of dearth spending is non-functional, the amount of money proposed is inadequate to reverse the downfall of the economy and that the aim of revitalization and venture was misplaced. They believed that the program will be unsuccessful especially due to borrowing for expenditure. They argued that if the government offers tax cut, it will be forced to sell bonds to nationals or investors from other countries to cater for the budget deficit. The administration therefore obtains funds from private ventures in a dissimilar payment technique.
