The billion dollar question. How has President Obama's $787 billion stimulus program affected me or my community? Well as far as the community I don't think we got any stimulus money and if we did I haven't seen it.

Am I seeing a benefit from the additional 25$ in unemployment benefits? Well for me they started giving me 25$ separate from unemployment and after a week they cut my benefit amount by 50$ so the federal government gaveth and the state taketh away.

Am I seeing construction jobs or other stimulus-funded work in my neighbor hood? Hmm nope.

Did stimulus funds save my job? Hmm nope.
