They're not "make work" if they're doing productive things. Our country has so many needs right now...

But it's wrong to call it "stimulus." Stimulus is meant to be temporary. If you remove it and the economy falters, then it didn't do much stimulating, did it?

The economy is in a better place than it was before the stimulus. The freefall did stop. But as I and many others predicted, it wasn't enough to fix the problems. A larger stimulus would work much better. And yes, it might be a stimulus that goes on for a couple of years. Whatever it takes to get things going again...
