Yes, but only to a very small degree and that is basically creating jobs dependent upon the government which we as taxpayers cannot sustain. If nothing else we learned that. Based upon what I've read/seen, these are not long term jobs and do not start immediately either. They are short-term, Gov't dependent and temporary.

Additionally, as the chart in post #49 displays, 265.2 Billion are not directed toward job creation whatsoever. That is 32% based upon A total of $819B. Roughly 1/3 of a "job creation/stimulus plan" that does virtually nothing to create jobs or stimulate the economy.
