景気刺激策については３分野に分かれるという説明。
ポイントを要約しましたのでご参照ください。
One-third of the money is for tax relief that’s going directly to families and small businesses. For Americans struggling to pay rising bills with shrinking wages, we’ve kept a campaign promise to put a middle class tax cut in the pocket of 95 percent of working families — a tax cut that began showing up in paychecks about four months ago. We also cut taxes for small businesses on the investments they make, and substantially increased loans through the Small Business Administration.

Another third of the money in the Recovery Act is for emergency relief that is helping folks who have borne the brunt of this recession. For Americans who were laid off, we expanded unemployment benefits — a measure that’s already made a difference in the lives of 12 million Americans. We’re making health insurance 65 percent cheaper for families that rely on COBRA while they’re looking for work. And for states facing historic budget shortfalls, we provided assistance that saved the jobs of tens of thousands of teachers and police officers and other public service workers.

So these two thirds of the Recovery Act have helped people weather the worst phase of this recession, while saving jobs and stabilizing our economy. The last third is dedicated to the vital investments that are putting people back to work today to create a stronger economy tomorrow. Part of that is the largest new investment of infrastructure in America since Eisenhower built the Interstate Highway System back in the 1950s. These are jobs rebuilding America: upgrading roads and bridges, and renovating schools and hospitals.

これらは短期的な対策であり、今後の産業復興策についてはまた改めて述べるとしましょう。
