What a waste

A recent survey of economists and some members of the administration are now saying that the economy is starting to show signs of improvement. That while unemployment will get higher, as it is a lagging indicator, the economy is starting to turn a corner and we should be out of this recession by the end of this year. Someone please explain to me why we needed to spend all that money for the stimulus package? There is no way that any of that money has gotten into the economy this quickly. And they wonder why people had tea parties. Could this be the reason?
