[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1292075, member: 11766"] It's not the "goverments" job to create jobs directly. But when the "government" (people) own the streets, bridges, water and sewer systems and in some cases electric facilities and other infrastructure the "government" creates jobs. The "government" has been shortchanging infrastructure and other capital improvements for years. If the administration want's to go the route they need to go all the way... like FDR did with the WPA. Things need to be fixed... and taxes will pay anyway. The way I understand things Obama's stimulus has only help the road construction industry. I seem to get the feeling talking to folks in that business all the Administration did was move a lot of projects up that would have been done in a couple of years anyway... and it's all been paid for with borrowed money anyway. This is what makes 'bama a goat of a different color. He surrounds himself with academics... his government is conducting a big experiment to see if those high level economic theories make sense. For years Presidents surrounde themselves with other politicians and lawyers as staff... this guy has a college think tank going on. [/QUOTE]
