Stimulus money - is it working?

I was reflecting on the U.S. economy the other day and wondering if all that stimulus money spent by the government had created any jobs or actually stimulated the economy. It reminded me of a real world situation in my own life, which may enlighten your understanding.

I bought a nice looking Italian suit last week. The tailor made money on it. The guy who sold him the fabric made money. The guy who raised the silkworms made money. Isn't it great - so many people make a living from a suit I haven't paid for!
