Do we really need to create "jobs" for 16 year olds?
What happens to the 400k construction jobs once the schools are fixed?
Who pays for the 250k maintenance men when the fed money runs out? Or are they temporary as well?
Where are 300k teachers needed? Who pays for them once the federal money runs out? Are those 300k also going to be teachers union members? Same with the Fireman and police officers? Who pays them once the fed money runs out? What about the hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits these people will accrue?
Who pays for that?
What is a part-time work study job and why is it a priority?
750k "community" jobs? Sounds like 749k jobs working for the Democratic political machine.

As usual the left produces a plan that will serve to raise taxes on everyone disguised as a tax on the evil rich. You don't have to be Karl Rove to see eventually these "jobs" will all become the burden of the regular tax paying middle class in the form of higher property, sales and school taxes. Of course the Dems will use this Act as a basis to argue for more class warfare while implementing more and more taxes to fund what really is a giant voter recruitment program.

So since these are apparently all fake jobs, let's hear your plan for creating real ones. I've yet to hear one legitimate jobs initiative from any conservative, in congress or out.

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?
