My lab is partially funded by that bill and in a few months I start grad school because I got a ton of experience with biochem, molecular biology, biophysics, etc.....

My boss literally bought a 55k machine so that I could do research and in a few months we'll get a new multimillion dollar machine for x ray crystallography. All of this is funded by the stimulus.
Much of that resource use probably is unsustainable if it was only funded through government throwing money around.

Because the government (central bank to be specific) is running hugely expansionary monetary policy i.e. cheap credit. Your second sentance doesn't even make sense in the context.
