These are the most directly stimulative parts of the bill, bolstering demand and preventing lay-offs- and stimulate they did. Economists of differing ideological stripes generally agree that the economy would have as many as 3 million fewer jobs now were it not for the stimulus. The remaining sixth of the bill focused on longer-term investments, which included putting $90 billion into green energy.
