>>>Sounds to me like trickle down economics when you say any spending is stimulus.

If that is the case then you have no idea what "trickle down" economics is. It is the idea of putting money in the hands of the wealthy "elites" because they know how to most efficiently invest it. Obviously in the spending bill the government is deciding what the best investments are.

If you are unsure of the meaning of the phrases you plan to use, you could, once in a while, at least look them up.
