I don’t think it would be possible to find a less informative, badly thought out, and more biased article full of misperceptions than this one, congratulations. :(

It is interesting how polls of people on the street are so valued for reality, yet studies by large firms who deal in economics are so casually dismissed.

I would, however enjoy seeing references/links to studies from large institutions, who deal with such analysis that show that the $787B was used effectively, but there seems to be no data I’ve seen around the net proclaiming success.
