In any event... It appears a second, job-creating stimulus is coming up:

How about we finish "creating" all the new jobs with the first stimulus before we run to China for more money. How about that?

I wonder where the 10% comes from. The BLS figures for October come out November 6th. The current unemployment rate (W) is 9.8%.
