He had nothing to do with that 2% at all. Even if he spent all the money on it, and it went perfectly, you still wouldn't notice the increase.
It's a stimulus bill, setup to "stimulate" something. $30 billion wouldn't make that 2% move for shit, it would only stimulate the market so it has the money to grow - within itself! Again - to stimulate - not force grow! Then $50b in research, means we're waiting like 10 years for results.
That's how it works, the Internet didn't fire up over night... it was researched, invested, and built up over like a 30 year period. Lucky for us, we can now reduced that down to less than 10 years, because of technology.
If he dumped money into it, forced States to hire the labor, and did something major like the interstate project, then you would see the numbers change. But in todays money, that's going to cost a hell of a lot more than what the stimulus package has.
