In studying the effects of policy responses to the recession, they argue that without the government’s various interventions, our gross domestic product would be 6.5 percent lower, we would have lost 8.5 million more jobs, and would be experiencing deflation instead of low inflation.

Even Republican leaders in Congress Know the stimulus worked although for political reasons and to deny the President any success they deny it worked. Republican leaders have used the stimulus themselves, not all of them, but many Republican Governors. If it were not for the propensity for the lying behavior of Republicans, they would admit it worked just as other Republicans and GOP entities have done.
