Obama's stimulus cost something like $300,000 per job that it provided which makes it an obscene failure by any objective measure.
I have not done the math, but this is the kind of ridiculousness Obama rubbish policy accompolishes. I have read an article showing where tens of miilion dollars of his stimulus appropriated taxpayer money created eight new jobs.

Another thing to keep in mind though is the bureacracy. Red tape tends to slow such measures down to a halt to the point where it is pointless once it gets going.
