It seems as though the stimulus benefits are beyond the benefit of the common person - the people who are paying for it - and the bulk of the funding is going to funding bailouts to companies like AIG who need a <a href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/03/20/jay-leno-obama-talks-aig-tax-policy/" rel="nofollow">cash advance</a> to fund their bonuses and corporate jets.
