Stimulus creates 650,000 jobs - White House says - Oct. 30, 2009

The stimulus has failed by every conceiveable measure.
Additionally, the stimulus packaged distributed funds using block grants to states, and the states have utilized those funds to camouflage budget gaps that would inevitably forced the state to layoff their employees.
