Well it looks at just the energy sector in Florida so it's examining just a small section where it supposedly succeeded. Even that claim is iffy.
From the article :
While Putnams report claims that stimulus funds created some jobs in the so-called green energy sector, it is silent on the jobs destroyed elsewhere in the economy by taking dollars out of these sectors and directing them to green energy programs. It is also silent on the jobs that may be destroyed in future years as government will need to increase taxes to pay down the debt used to finance the 2009 stimulus bill.
the study showed the stimulus worked.
I know it blows your whole stack of lies but facts are facts

Importantly, the audit uncovered indications of suspected fraud by grant recipients.
The Shovel Ready Energy Project Grant provides another example of a program that has not made significant measurable impact.
While it is important to be strategic in awarding grants and expending funds, the slow rate at which OOE has awarded and expended these stimulus funds failed to generate immediate impact on a state facing difficult economic times.
This audit revealed significant failures in OOE management of grant programs...
Of the grant invoices reviewed, more than $800,000.00 worth of reimbursements paid were missing invoices.
That study is proof that TM doesn't know how to read.
