@Plosion1 De-regulation of the housing market (although it was essentially more regulation ex: Frank/Dodd to allow high risk mortgages to be awarded to people who couldn't afford a mortgage) is totally different from reducing regulations on small business's such as construction companies. You're talking apples and oranges and generalizing. Fact is, the last trillions of dollars spent got us nowhere and some of the money is missing. Do you really think spending another 1/2 trill will do anything?
@1uphydro Because...we need the infrastructure improvements. Deregulation got us into a major financial crisis. It will not, and has not created jobs. And it just makes sense to take advantage of lower interest rates and labor costs to catch up with the needed improvements to our infrastructure that will help industry.
@Plosion1 Those numbers (if you could even calculate them) would not bring the cost of each job created anywhere near an acceptable number because there is no acceptable number. The government spending $477 billion to create jobs is like placing $477 on black at the roulette table in Vegas. How about doing something that costs he tax payer almost nothing, reduce the regulations placed on business's allowing them to compete, thus creating permanent jobs, not temporary infrastructure jobs.
@1uphydro You neglect to take into account the things that will get done by those jobs. How much are bridges, roads and schools worth? And what about the businesses help by the infrastructure improvements? How much is that worth?
@brokerhooper I fail to see how Obama's $477,000,000,000.00 Jobs bill will put hundreds of thousands of Americans back to work. In fact, if this Jobs bill were passed, and it created even more jobs than you state it would... lets say a million jobs. Each job would have cost $477,000. ($350,000 is the lowest estimate) What kind of sense does that make? It is you that is not the independent thinker my friend, not to mention you also don't seem to know basic math or have any common sense.
@Kennylpj That's not always true. In my area for instance, there is a lack of available personnel in the IT sector. So the unemployment rate is actually a negative. Frankly, companies always pay as little as possible, and workers try to negotiate for as much as possible. If it weren't for stifling government regulations and ridiculous corporate tax rates, everyone would be making more money - Especially employees.
@dbirchle :) I know and I knew that Handelson71 could not put forth any evidence that this had anything to to with Senator Rubio other than the legal relation to his brother in law, nothing more.
@1uphydro Yes. And most Americans agree with me.

Georgia opened up it's HOT lanes on Interstate 85 a week or two ago. Proof of infrastructure improvements creating jobs!

Not just "failed miserably" but Obama's policies destroyed jobs. Read articles:
'Talk is not so cheap with Obama’s jobs lies"
"3 years of Obama’s failed jobs promises and anti-job policies"
"A look at Obama’s disastrous focus on jobs"
"Electric rates to jump 40-60% with Obama’s new EPA regs"
"Obama pushes up oil, gas and electric rates as he promised"
"Obama warns Americans not to panic while he ruins the economy"
"No electricity for jobs with EPA’s looming blackouts"
