It's not like the banks are lending that much nowadays anyway and much of what they are lending is being spent in India and similar locales.

That would depend on who they "give" it to.
Hiring the unemployed to do work that really needs to be done, i.e. repairing the country's infrastructure, is a win win situation for everybody involved. Bridges and such, that will need to be repaired eventually anyway (and at greater cost), will get fixed now and the economy will be properly stimulated with real money (not freshly printed money) spent by real American workers inside of
this country.

That's because most so called stimulus packages are nothing more than pork, spent at the whim of corrupt public officials and/or mismanaged abysmally.
A well managed public works program can't help but to succeed.
