The President's plan is a good one. It's chock full of things that should make both sides happy...the key to compromise.
I do believe, however, that it is missing a key provision...that all infrastructure projects carry the "Made in America" label.
Solar panels and steel can't be bought from China. No outsourcing labor. Put AMERICANS back to work using AMERICAN products.
Which party, d'ya think, would give the most pushback on such a provision?
This new stimulus gives each state about 2 billion. The funds just like last time will be diverted to pay for projects already underway.
This is just another union payoff.
The mistake with the last stimulus was in allowing governors to plug their deficits with it (ahem, Rick Perry). It is my understanding that the jobs bill money could only be used for actual "shovel ready" projects.
Like Rick was the only one? I live in a blue state. I dont ever here you mention how our governor did the same thing. Why is that?
