Cry about socialism and big government all you want, this country badly needs a WPA-style jobs program to reanimate the middle class and increase consumer spending. Tax cuts haven't done it, and Schakowsky's right that 'incentivizing' and all the other terms that essentially translate to giving corporations more breaks that they never use to hire workers anyway are a load of bullshit.
There has been pretty much nothing but Republican economic policy implemented since the sackless one entered office and unemployment is still a huge problem. So either lay out a definitive, direct jobs initiative or get off the pot. Or is this current situation OK with you?

Who pays for these jobs when the Fed govt money runs out? These aren't real jobs, these are federally funded temp jobs. Are the hundreds of thousands of student and youth jobs going to help the middle class? Are the maintenace jobs what middle America is looking for? Who pays for the billions of dollars in residual benefits these workers will acrue?
Your girls plan is a joke and supporting it without coming up with answers for the questions posed shows a lack of basic understanding of how the real world works and what the jobs issue entails.
