This may be my shortest entry yet, because it's just a fleeting thought. Details of Mr. Obama's economic plan are beginning to trickle out, and it seems that one of his ideas is to create a big government program to address our infrastructure. Hooray! New/repaired roadways, and I'm hoping new bridges, too! While that is a credible idea as far as our declining infrastructure is concerned, it is being touted as part of his ECONOMIC plan. The idea is that this program will not only fix some things that actually do need fixing, but it will create jobs! Lots of jobs! The American economy and the American worker will be rescued!
I just have one little question: Aren't road construction jobs (and manual labor jobs in general) in the category of jobs that we have been told that "most Americans won't do"? How is creating a bunch of jobs for which shady contractors will end up hiring a bunch of illegal aliens going to help the American worker?
I can't wait to see what else is coming!
