2. Sadly to please Republicans they had to put tax cuts in there but how do you assert they went to
the richest americans. I hadn't heard that. Got any links or documentation. I'm interested.


Yes, tax cuts are not stimulative of job growth. But that was the price of getting some REpublican votes.

Regarding your obsservations on construction, alas If Obama were Jesus Christ he could deliver salvation to humans and change society with a wave of his hand while repairing our economic wounds. But, methinks he's not a God. So I guess we'll have to put up with his mortal limitations.

addording to article here: (http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/10/vp-biden-schwarzenegger-laud-jobs-saved-with-stimulus-cash.php ) of 400,000 detailed, 80,000 are construction workers, 325,000 are education workers.


In California, 62,000 teachers were kept employed instead of being laid off.
