I'm sure some of the stimulus money has created jobs. How many might be difficult to tell, but I don't think the expectation was that the stimulus bill would magically fix the unemployment problem.

I think it's fair to say it hasn't met initial expectations. I think only 15% of the money has even been appropriated.
