Stimulus, schmimulus
$787 billion divided by 210 million adults in the United States is $3,750 per adult. If they want to spend that much to stimulate the economy, then just mail a check for $3,750 to every adult in the country and I can guarantee there will be plenty of spending. But they don't want to do that -- they want to spend the money on a bunch of programs so that administration (bureaucrats) can bleed off a good share of it, and the rest can be directed to companies that have lobbyists and connections, and maybe some benefit will trickle down to the average person in a year or two, after the economic crisis has already come to its natural end anyway.
