Agreed. Obama needs to stop the appeasement bullshit, and pass a jobs bill like the new deal. Pumping billions into public works projects to fix bridges, roads, and crumbling infrastructure. Most of it was designed to last 50 years, and it's well over that now.
It would put a lot of these construction companies back to work (since the housing will not be turning around any time soon) and pump a lot of money into jobs, and the economy. While also investing in THIS country, instead of others like Iraq.
