Just my opinion. The stimulus was to create a feeling among people that something could be done to help. It gave people hope and in the long run it builds confidence.

No matter how much or how little it accomplished you could look around and see things being done.The last time I took a small trip I saw signs all over of new roads being built,bridges and others fixed.When we can see progress in our own country it shows something is being done.Even that will bring in more taxes.
