The Three Focus of The Stimulus Package
January 2, 2010
Stimulus package introduced by the Federal Government is aimed at a stabilized spending on various sectors in a span of ten years. This is actually a wonderful financial plan to save jobs, create new employment opportunities, to save multinational companies and to manage any natural disasters that may occur due to some unforeseen situations. This means with the probability of occurrence of any grave situation, the stimulus package was sanctioned to stay safe at all times in all situations.
Therefore, the main focus of stimulus package was to save the confidence of investors who have their funds in various companies in the form of shares and bonds. Many of the successful multinational companies have a huge sum of investment from investors and these sums have to be protected both by the government and by the corporate sector. This considered to be very appreciate and very strong deal which protects the confidence of investors. In the recent years, real estate, banks and petroleum industries have seen a major drawback by the global recession and buying and selling prices were facing severe imbalances in the market. Now, at this point, the stimulus package diverted some of its funds to stabilize the market in some of the industrial sectors and banks.
The focus of stimulus package is to spend a portion of its funds to an extent of $ 185 billion up to 2009, $ 400 billion in 2010 and $ 135 billion in 2011. In this manner, out of total $ 241.9 billion, $ 92.8 was spent on tax relief, $ 86.5 was spent on unemployment and $ 62.6 was spent on job creation. These were the major areas of concentration where stimulus package was required to spend and the government successfully achieved its results.
Global recession has actually brought down the real estate market which included the takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and this once again stabilized the real estate market by virtue of stimulus package. Severe economic crisis had many challenges on the agenda of Obama administration and these were achieved one after the other on a slow pace. So, the focus of stimulus package was mainly in those areas which were facing hard times and which required the immediate softening of the situation by using the funds from stimulus package on a priority basis.
To some extent, yes, it is true that stimulus package did help the government to stabilize the situation and save the economy from economic crisis and could also create new employment opportunities and laid foundation for new services and tax cuts for elderly people. Although it is true that that mounting debt is a concern, if the economy per annum is substantially improving each year, it would be very easily pay off the debt and to gain control over the regular functioning of economy.
The plan of stimulus package is very professional and the approach to the spending is very directive and progressive. For the present and for the future, stimulus packages will continue to safeguard, but it is important to see that this financial crisis does not arise again.
