We only hire people when customers show up and sales increase. We don't see this happening so we are not hiring more people. The only stimulus that will turn the economy around is an increase in aggregate demand for private sector goods and services. Only people who sell stuff to road builders are having a good year and these businesses don't maintain large employee bases. If the Dems just sent every man, woman and child in America a check for $50,000 and told them to "live it up a bit" the recession would be history (and, so would the dollar, but that's a tale for later). This stimulus is about making Democrats VERY, VERY rich at the expense of the rest of us...
I see you recognize that customers have tapped out their credit cards and home ATM machines. After some dozen years of shipping jobs to other countries for cheap labor, the money well is dry. Recovery awaits our making more of what we import.
