"In fact, only 20 percent of the $447 billion was dedicated to physical infrastructure, and only about half of that money would have been available right away. Over $250 billion of the bill was devoted to temporary tax gimmicks that don't create jobs. History shows us that too."

First off it would creat 2 million jobs. @nd off It would put Teachers police and firefighters and construction workers back to work. Wether it created 100 jobs or 2 million it created jobs and whoever isnt for that shouldnt be making choices for this country. Them 2 democrates should be kicked off the dem team.. Today 10-17-2011 They are starting to disect the plan. President Obama is given it to the Republicans in baby bites. Today they are putting forth the part that will put 400,000 teachers and i think first responders back to work. at the expense off taxing the rich who make net 1,000,000 or more income. Not assets but income of only .5%. Republicans say that by doing this 300,000 small business owners will cut jobs. They always make it sound so bad. Its going to tax mostly investers. And the rich dont create jobs anyway. Wev'e seen that. So if they dont pass this then they are going to have to explain to 400,000 teachers and others that they kept them from supporting their familys. we will see.
