At the cost of avoiding an economy in free fall and a depression that would have been much deeper and lasted much longer.

Also, dont forget that 2/3 of the stimulus funding was for tax cuts and tax relief, mostly for small businesses and middle class, along with increased benefit for large number of unemployed in the preceeding 2-3 years ....the kind of tax cuts that Republicans generally like (maybe not the increased benefits part) but refused to support in the stimulus bill for political reasons.
