10. it's not enough to this carpenter guy
467 billion is not enough to even begin establishing jobs. Hell, it's the same size as the initial stimulous and we all know where that ended up.

There aren't or I haven't seen any concrete plans on what is going to be payed for with this amount. Will it be extended unemployment benefits? Will a

WPA type system be developed? If it's infrastructure rehab,what federal commission is going to pick and choose which parts get rehabbed and which get

left out and who is going to work on them?

I have this feeling we're gonna be throwing crapcovered bricks of hundreds at the wall and in 16 months there won't be any change. The only thing we'll

get is a brick upside the head from the other side of the aisle talking about how 467 Billion went to create x amount of #167,000.00/yr jobs.

Talk me down. Please.
