Hiring all the millions of engineers, high tech and construction workers required to accomplish such a monumental task would drop the unemployment rate like a rock. And those good construction wages would fatten the balance sheets of now-troubled banks, which would revitalize home mortgage and small business lending.

It's called “trickle up economics” and, unlike trickle down economics, it actually works.

Look, I expected nothing less than fumbling, bumbling, good-old-boy-back-scratching behavior we've seen from the current bunch in the White House. But I expected a more enlightened response from Democrats.

It's jobs, STUPID!
Jobs, jobs, FREAKING JOBS!

P.S.Why do we have to endure long, drawn out, painful primaries and general elections and end up still having to tell these hirelings how to do their damn job?

PPS: It's a rhetorical question.
