President Obama revealed a plan at the start of this year to revive our financial system in the short term with a stimulus package which brought in an initial 75 billion dollars to the economy, mostly in the shape of tax breaks and cash aimed at seniors, house owners, working class families and those who are without jobs. The plan also contained 45 billion dollars in backup funds which could be released into the economy rapidly as required or in case the situation continued to become worse.

Some of the smaller parts, but not any less important at all, of Obama’s stimulus package are the following below:

* There is a tax break of $250 for workers and for their families.

* There is a bonus for seniors of $250 which should be received as part of their social security funds.

* There is also an extra tax break for workers and seniors of $250 if the situation carries on getting worse.

* Although less specific, there are provisions to contribute funds to homeowners who have been badly hurt by the crisis.

* There are funds which are directed specifically to the states which have been damaged the most by the crisis, so that they may be able to continue to provide their services.

One of the most important features of the stimulus package was that it did not need a long and bureaucratic process to be implemented. This meant that the effects could be felt in a much shorter time and across more of society.
