Economic Stimulus Act of 2008

Also found in: Acronyms

0.01 sec.

Legislation in the United States that provided between $300 and $600 in tax rebates for U.S. taxpayers in order to encourage spending to keep the country out of recession. The act also provided tax incentives to businesses to encourage investment and further spending. The act is considered to have been a failure as most recipients of the rebates used them to pay down debt (which has little stimulating impact) instead of spending. The U.S. entered a recession in late 2007.
