That's why all the stimulus pumping we have done has barely moved the needle on unemployment.
I think the stimulus pumping has barely moved the needle because so much of it was directed to things like tax cuts, which have very little stimulative effect. And of course, we have the Republicans to thank for insisting on that.

In the real world, of course, Obama could never had gotten a bigger package than the one he proposed through Congress, especially if it hadn't included tax cuts.

Republicans have not yet been informed that tax cuts don't really stimulate the economy much. The information exists, but they haven't heard about it yet.
