But keeping unemployment at less than 10% wasn't the only reason for the stimulus. Yet it's the only thing you are using to judge it's effectiveness.

Unemployment numbers have peaked and have been dropping markedly the past few months, and are continuing to drop. They are the lowest they've been in a long time.

The stimulus is still a long way from being completely disbursed, too.
