Instead of "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," it's easier just to say "stimulus package."  What's not easy to say is whether the controversial plan has been a success; it really depends on whom you ask.

Well, we're asking you.  President Obama signed the $787 billion stimulus plan exactly one year ago (its price was recently recalculated at $862 billion).  Its goals included saving or creating jobs, keeping the economy from getting worse, and helping the economy grow down the road.

Has it worked?
