Get > it? Yeah, that sounds about right to me. If you scream Socialism! and run a campaign saying that the stimulus is the devil and that it doesn't create any jobs, then no, you don't get to have any of it. Don't think it creates jobs? Great, lets run an experiment and see how the states do who take the money and those who do not. Responsible members of Congress were trying to do something worthwhile to get the economy kickstarted. Don't like it? Fine, vote against it and then shut up and fuck off.
