We have obviously not "lost over 5 million jobs, maybe as many as 7 million" between the passage of the stimulus bill and today.
Perhaps you prefer fuzzy math.
Your error is in forgetting that in order just to keep even the economy has to produce several hundred thousand jobs every month. In order to recover the economy has to produce way more jobs than in a normal month.
