What has the $800 billion stimulus money actually done?

What has the $800 billion stimulus money actually done? And why is there so much anger towards China over trade.

Jonny Dymond reports from Chicago in the US on the mid-term elections and what happened to the $800 billion stimulus money. Plus why China is getting a kicking in this campaign.

He hears from a real estate consultant who thinks the stimulus was a wasted opportunity and to a heavy equipment operative who as a result of the stimulus package got work.

And Professor Casey Mulligan, at the University of Chicago who doesn't buy into government intervention to stimulate the economy.

Plus Jonny asks Lapham-Hickey Steel president Bill Hickey whether he understands why there is so much anger about trade with China in the US.
