Right now America's infrastructure is dangerously crumbling. The government could do a massive work hiring program to both fix this and put hundreds of thousands back to work, but that is met with overwhelming screaming against the spending, and the pooh-poohing that those jobs are temporary over just a few years.
How is this unemployment crisis supposed to be corrected? By cutting business taxes? That hasn't worked for the past 10 years, those policies oversaw the loss of 800,000 jobs. Frankly, the auto company bailouts worked, as it made what's left lean, mean and profitable, including payback for those loans. But the scale was too small, and the new auto mfg paradigm cuts thousands of jobs permanently. We need to invest in manufacturing within the US. Other countries are already far ahead of us in doing that.
