ABSTRACT
The article discusses the impact of the Economic Stimulus Package of 2008 on businesses, such as forging and diecasting operations, in the U.S. The economic stimulus package doubles the amount of equipment expenditures a small business can expense or immediately write-off. In this connection, each foundry owner will have to decide for himself if the investment limits will help in stimulating the economy of their metalcasting business/operation.
