The root of the problemBy Eric T, Section News
U.S. Factories Contracted at Fastest Pace Since 1980
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a0ZZ1ZJzT8nI&refer=usStimulus Plan "The manufacturing slump underscores why President-elect Barack Obama, who takes office Jan. 20, has said his first priority will be to pass an economic stimulus plan that will invest in public works and create or save 3 million jobs. The package may be worth as much as $850 billion." "Stocks advanced on the first day of trading in 2009, following the biggest annual drop for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index in 71 years, on expectations government stimulus efforts will curtail the recession. The S&P index rose 1.1 percent to 913.47 at 10:40 a.m. in New York. Treasury securities were little changed."
From what I've heard Obama wants to stimulate the economy with Infrastructure projects road repair.
I think before committing to an infrastructure spending package, maybe Obama and the new congress should take a closer look at manufacturing, and the issues of why American firms across the country are failing. Manufacturing jobs in a way, can be much better than infrastructure jobs, infrastructure jobs can be just a one time job or project. Where as manufacturing jobs can be there for a long time. And provide a family an income, without years of schooling and training. Alot of the infrastructure work is already done by our state. Our state is doing a great job on these roads too. They give you a nice smooth ride, A huge improvement on alot of the road I travel daily.
