I think the admins goals are that unemployment will be (maintained)around 7% with the stimulus

and that it would rise to circa 9% without.
3 things can happen. Things improve, largely stay the same, or disimprove, and all 3 scenarios will be spun as thus;

1. Things improve; Stimulus will be credited, along with the actions taken by the Fed.
2. Things stay largely the same; Stimulus will be credited along the lines of "Think of how much worse it would have been without a stimulus!"
3. Things markedly disimprove; This wasn't a consequence of the stimulus. In fact, this means we need a bigger stimulus.
