A sweeping $787 billion stimulus package aimed at reviving the flagging U.S. economy was signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is expected to create jobs, encourage consumer spending, improve essential infrastructure, and strengthen the safety net for Americans affected by the recession. The legislation includes nearly $300 billion in tax cuts intended to promote additional spending by individuals and businesses, make higher education more affordable, and encourage both homeowners and business owners to invest in clean-energy technologies.
