We are talking about stimulus on a countrywide scale that would take place even before the plan was fully executed.

Instead of giving away money we don't have, how about across the board the first $100,000 you earn is tax free and a flat tax of 30% or 40% for every dollar earned above that, period, no deductions, no nothing.
The bottom 50% of tax payers pay such a small amount of the total taxes collected that it wouldn't make much difference in what is collected, yet would make a very big difference in what the people could put back into the economy.
We wouldn't be throwing good money after bad (over and over again) and won't be funding special interest groups and social programs by putting this country (and our children) into a deeper dept.
Let the people who work and the businesses who put people to work keep more of the money
that they have earned instead of putting a greater tax burden on us. If is done, the country will recover at far faster rate than if we let the government spend money we don't have, on new never ending social programs that only increase our dependance on the government. When we come to depend on the government for everything, we won't be any different than the citizens communist Russia.
Take care.
