It was a good idea, but badly executed.
And why is everyone blaming sides, it's the government period that has fucked us over.
And then some idiot says in the middle of all this that Reagan raised the debt limit, always on point with the conversation, NOT

Plenty of proof running around showing where the stimulus did help and continues to help today. It did not help across everything they wanted to, but it did help.
Saying the stimulus was badly executed shows you've never researched it. It's being micro managed and adjusted/changed continually, and it's still going on, 3 years later and it is still not done, and most of the issues it did have are now gone.
Obama can force a State to spend it on the schools for example, but he can't ever force a state not to spend its own school budget and use the stimulus for the schools only, making those same Governor's ask the fed for more money when they run out because now they have none, then them turn around bitch that the stimulus did not improving the schools, when they're the ones that fucked it up, and technically it did greatly help them, saving shit tons of jobs, improvements, etc.
All bailouts in all forms, suck ass for the tax payer... doesn't make a shit what it's for or why, we all take it in the ass when it happens... I think all but 1 president from 1970 to current has done a bailout of some type - and they all sucked, but they did not all fail.
