Actually, his stimulus, at least the way he touted it, was job creation. We can argue over the effectiveness of what he signed as a job creating bill, but that was his approach, create jobs in infrastructure, education, etc.
That's different than the Bush approach, which was to cut gubmint checks with money they didn't have, and tell us to go out and spend it. I spend the last two stimulus checks I got on the black market.
If you flip this behemoth over and examine the ugly underbelly, it is clear that his "stimulus" is major increases in government spending and creation of hundreds of thousands of new government jobs. He intends to starve the private sector just like Reagan wanted to starve the beast. But now, with Obama seizing power, the beast is in charge..
