President Barack Obama signed into lax the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on February 17, 2009, after the critical moments that the United States lived during the crisis of 2008. It represented a stimulus package to impulse the US economy.  This act was based on the Keynesian economic theory that states that during a recession, the government should invest the money that private companies cannot invest. This means that the government must spend the money needed to keep jobs and control the economic situation.
