It didn't work the first time. They admitted it didn't work the first time. But that won't stop them from doing it again.
Please, someone kill this thing.
Obama wants another $50 biliion stimulus to boost the struggling economy.
Never mind the fact that by every objective measure the democrat's Trillion dollar stimulus bomb was a complete disaster.
Barack Obama is incapable of learning new tricks. He's a committed Keynesian.
The AP reported:
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 airports that would cost at least $50 billion, administration officials said.
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, officials said spending would be front-loaded with an initial $50 billion to help create jobs in the near future. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the proposals ahead of the president's announcement.
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.
Just so you know you're not crazy… The first stimulus was already supposed to fix the roads.
