Tax revenues must be raised to cover the cost of the plan under the ARR Act to stimulate the economy, while American companies are laying off American employees to outsource jobs abroad. This does not make sense. A minimal requirement that must be imposed on any company that wants to partake in the business opportunities created by the Stimulus Plan is not to have replaced its American employees with lower-paid workers abroad. The American taxpayer is not covering the ARRA cost in order to create jobs abroad at the expense of American job losses.
