You can not take your medicine to avoid the side effects, but the end result would be much worse than taking the medicine and living with the side effects.

There are people though who really don't think the stimulus will do much. Some that believe that it's better for the economy to devalue itself quickly and begin recovery. That the stimulus is simply delaying the inevitable. Then there are those that just think a lot of the stuff in the stimulus plan is silly like stop-smoking programs. That not having provisions in there to prevent using that money to hire illegals is stupid.
And you can't blame people for being skeptical. Remember that the TARP was necessary and the world would cease to exist as we know it without. Turns out they didn't even use half the money and the rest went into a blackhole that is being kept secret from the public. The boy can only cry wolf so many times with people.
