Hungry for Flight
But... but!... But Nancy Pelosi says "500 million Americans will lose their jobs" if we don't pass the bill!!!
If there are only 305 million Americans, does that mean two thirds of us are going to lose our jobs twice?!?! Catastrophic indeed.
Twosblind, you say: "School construction does nothing to stimulate the economy in the short term in my opinion. Nor does any other "infrastructure project". These are one time expenditures, single projects, which do not encourage increases in prodcutivity or hiring."
a. Short term: What Midn09 said.
b. Long term: Educating our youth absolutely "encourages increases in productivity." No one would be too productive without some sort of education. Doubling our class sizes (increasing population, but same number of classrooms) is likely to decrease productivity in the long run.
