Does Barack Obama Read This Blog?
In the last posting, I suggest good old fashioned public works projects to put people back to work. It seems as if Barack Obama had the same idea. These projects are a stimulus package that always works and leaves a lasting legacy of public assets. There are still stone walls around Charlotte that were built by the WPA.
The Bush administration has been pretty generous. They set up a big $700 billion grab and then said, we are only going distribute ½ of the money to our buddies. We will leave the other half for the new administration to give to their buddies. I just can’t believe that Congress fell for that top down junk. If anything the measures they took will make things worse. They will certainly lead to more stratification of our society, which we definitely don’t need.
Roads bridges and schools benefit our country. Wars only benefit a few industries at the expense of the entire society. The tremendous projects that were planned for Iraq, many of them paid for and never built, would be very helpful here.
