There is awful lot of social welfare stuff in the stimulus bill that has nothing to do with job creation. (Lets out of work people go on Medicaid for their Health Insurance WITHOUT ANY RESORT to any income test. This is a fundamental alteration of the Medicaid program and yet it is being wrapped up in the stimulus bill so Medicaid's expansion into uncharted waters can't be debated) If we are going to become a social welfare state we should at least do it consciously and not let it creep in on little cat's feet. Not sure this is what the swing vote intended when they voted for Obama.
