Obama calling for more infrastructure spending
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vowing to find new ways to stimulate the sputtering economy, President Barack Obama will call for long-term investments in the nation's roads, railways and runways that would cost at least $50 billion.
The infrastructure investments are one part of a package of targeted proposals the White House is expected to announce in hopes of jump-starting the economy ahead of the November election. Obama will outline the infrastructure proposal Monday at a Labor Day event in Milwaukee.
While the proposal calls for investments over six years, the White House said spending would be front-loaded with an initial $50 billion to help create jobs in the near future.
The goals of the infrastructure plan include: rebuilding 150,000 miles of roads; constructing and maintaining 4,000 miles of railways, enough to go coast-to-coast; and rehabilitating or reconstructing 150 miles of airport runways, while also installing a new air navigation system designed to reduce travel times and delays.

Amazing that AP actually admits that this is not about stimulus but about creating a supposed sense of stimulating the economy for political gain. Needless to say this is all an illusion and simply a last gasp to add to the Cloward-Piven strategy with the capper being a lame duck Congress.
This is plain thuggery and will back fire. The Dems are in panic mode because they know that millions of voters don't but the MSM protection racket anymore and millions of newly-enlightened voters are busy breaking out of their MSM-following coma and backtracking to review so many of the lies they bought before.
No doubt to be built/re-built with our ever expanding manufacturing base, domestic tools and machinery, and workers that are fluent in English.
two more shovel leaniing jobs created for only 8,456.332,334 per job.
Huh?

This administration should be arrested and sent to Cuba on a Raft.
Although it is not a Federal building, my local township just added solar panels to it's town hall building. It cost $35,000, of which more than half was paid by grants (ie tax dollars). The part that has my head shaking is that, because it is a small part time board, and the building is only used during voting and monthly board meetings, the yearly electric bill is only $1,000.00 a YEAR!
Yes, you read that right, for $35,000.00 we got something that will ease (won't eliminate because we live in Mid Wisconsin, not the most optimum place for solar panels) a $1,000.00 a year bill.
Thank You taxpayers, my township appreciates it.
How many votes will $50 billion buy?
nothing to see there move along now racist!
Which Republicans will give Obama what he wants?
"Anti-Capitalist Puppet Shows ($50,000): Puppet theatres with socialist, anti-capitalist messages were paid $50,000 to put on puppet shows".
Very well said!
Didn’t Drudge just report a couple of days ago that the White House was NOT going to do another stimulus? Surely they didn’t lie about that, I must have gotten it wrong.
Of course there will be a new tax on medical equipment.
What to say or think? POTUS Obama is braindead!!! Just appearing with the AFL-CIO, SEIU, etc. labor Goons on Labor Day is a joke!!! This guy has a screw loose and should be made to resign immediately by his own Democrat Party!!! More money, thrown away to his labor gangsters and crooks!!! If any Democrat or Republican votes for this they should be defeated at the polls this November. What a waste!!!
A few days ago Obama was floating his plans but the word stimulus was not released in the MSM.
Interesting the MSM are somewhat letting lose on what Obama is doing.
