Why he doesn’t want anyone driving a car.

How’s about passing a bill that ends skimming off the top of highway funds?

GUARANTEED: Only Union Labor may be used on these Federal Projects.

How about we just have the welfare recipients do the work, or lose their welfare checks? Sure would save the Taxpayers a lot of money.

2 to 1 ratio of supervisor to worker. I've seen 6 to 1 personally. Very efficient use of tax dollars. Lets dig a really big and then fill it in. That’ll ‘create’ jobs.

[Spok]

The only thing shovel ready is his BS.

[hauerf]

How about lowering income taxes and letting individuals and businesses decide what to do with THEIR own money? That is not only just; it actually works to stimulate an economy.

"Obama to call for passage of highway programs UNION PORK..."

[unixfox]

With all the money that's been spent on these "highway programs" We should all be driving on streets of gold.

CORRUPT BASTARDS!

I just paid 10 bucks in tolls dropping my daughter off to college. Where’s that money go?

[traditional1]

Who didn't see this coming as the "solution"???

WPA, Messiah-style. This is his version of the "NEW DEAL", and even though we are bankrupt, we will hire Union labor to build roads and bridges (that will require rebuilding in less than 10 years, due to poor workmanship, as is the case today in many, many places). Then, these Union jobs will produce Union Dues, to be funneled to the DNC for the 2012 Elections.

What a wonderful plan, right?

O good Lord, is he going to MAKE A NATIONAL SPEECH and demand tv coverage?

[LostInBayport]

More Keynesian nonsense. Spend money we don’t have on overpriced boondoggles that benefit state workers or union members.

The only way government can create jobs is by getting off the backs of and out of the way of the private sector.

But liberals refuse to even consider that...to them, government is The Answer to Everything.

[Charles Martel]

They may not name this the "Work Projects Administration, Part II", but that what it will, in effect, be. And of course, the original WPA was heavily wrapped up in Democrat vote-buying and political influence.

That's where the "Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities" came from - an effort to rein in the WPA's corrupting influence within the federal government. That Act is still around today, though it has been renamed the "Hatch Act" - far less inflammatory.

“protect”?

[oldbrowser]

We already did that. That's what the Stimulus money was supposed to do. Plus the Federal gasoline tax is supposed to pay for that also. We have already paid for highway maintenance twice, does Obama want us to pay for it again so they can steal the money one more time?

[toddausauras]

Any GOP candidate who doesn’t ask “Why did you wait until now for this jobs proposal???” is a GD idiot.

[mrsmith]

His media cheerleaders:

“Pave ‘em again, pave ‘em again... Harder! Harder!”

A hundred Billion should be enough to put up signs across America, “This Road being repaired by your magnificent Leader.”
