I heard this on the news today.They are repackaging it, and marketing it as infrastructure building and improvements.
More money funneled to contributors to the Democratic party, IOW?
Wasn't the improvement of infrastructure,and shovel ready jobs supposed to have been part of the original
stimulus plan?

Obama assails GOP, promotes new jobs program
MILWAUKEE A combative President Barack Obama rolled out a long-term jobs program Monday that would exceed $50 billion to rebuild roads, railways and runways, and coupled it with a blunt campaign-season assault on Republicans for causing Americans' hard economic times.
GOP leaders instantly assailed Obama's proposal as an ineffective one that would simply raise already excessive federal spending. Many congressional Democrats are also likely to be reluctant to boost expenditures and increase federal deficits just weeks before elections that will determine control of Congress.
Administration officials said the transportation plan's initial $50 billion would be the beginning of a six-year program of transportation improvements, but they did not give an overall figure. The proposal has a longer-range focus than last year's economic stimulus bill, which was more targeted on immediate job creation.
The plan calls for rebuilding 150,000 miles of roads; building and maintaining 4,000 miles of rail lines and 150 miles of airport runways, and installing a new air navigation system to reduce travel times and delays.
Obama also called for a permanent funding mechanism, an infrastructure bank, to focus on paying for national and regional infrastructure projects. Officials provided few details of how the bank would work.
I think it's supposed to help Democrats with their reelection chances. "Look at us! We're helping you out to the tune of 50 Billion Dollars!".wheres the fucking stimulus money? why the fuck do you think you need $50b more?
at least they didn't go for another 870 billion do over. But let's be realistic here...another 50 billion isn't going to bankrupt us...that's already happened. they might as well keep going.
