4000 dead

In many ways a more important issue, but not directly relevant to comparing the budgetary cost, and only modestly relevant to comparing the total financial cost.

Also 4000 dead to free 25 million from Saddam.

will spend the other 90% and then it WILL work.

I disagree, but I guess the main point here is there is no way to prove it either way. If things turn out well in another year or so, they may have been even even better without the stimulus. If things turn out poorly they may have been even worse without it. "The stimulus worked" or "it didn't work", is really a statement about the net effect of the stimulus (which can be positive even with a negative result, and negative even with a positive result), NOT a statement about what happens after the stimulus, but its massively easier to measure the later than the former, and public opinion will probably be largely based on the later.
