If the government is going to provide jobs for the masses then it needs to go ahead and do it! Forget the health care mess and let's get the jobs bill going as Obama promised in his state of the dis-union speech, before the health care run-around took place.
If road and bridge construction (re-construction) brings people back to work then unemployment transfer payments will be replaced with paychecks (you know, being paid to actually produce something instead of sitting around) then private sector businesses will have to gear up and producing in order to support the government programs where in turn hiring will increase and unemployment will come down. Once money is being made and people start buying other goods then other industry should start benefiting from the new demand and HOPEFULLY, things will start to return to normal.
This is what I think needs to happen if Washington is truly interested in getting the country back on the road to prosperity. Now if they are really interested in expanding the welfare state to a state of socialism then let's just keep the status quo and it will come about on its own.
