"if the stimulus had actually been given to the taxpayer and a spending or debt reduction recovery had happened rather than the Pork Stimulus"

Perhaps I do not understand what you mean, but there should not have been a stimulus at all. They should have cut taxes and spending, and the economy would have taken care of itself. All government spending is a drain on the economy, even though a certain amount is necessary.
