that would be Senator Harry Reid

even the cat recently be-quested $14million will create jobs even if he blows it all on catnip and Little Friskies.

Reid: "The Republicans say the richest of the rich in our country, even those who make millions every year, shouldn’t contribute more to get our economy back on track. They call our plan, time after time, a tax on job creators, and I say so-called “job creators.” Because I say that, Mr. President, every shred of evidence contradicts this red herring. For example, there have been many outlets, but I’ll concentrate on one. National Public Radio went looking for one of these fictitious millionaire job creators. A reporter reached out to the business groups and a tax lobby in the Republican Congress hoping to interview one of these millionaires. Days ticked by with no luck. Many of our job creators are like unicorns, they're impossible to find and don't exist. That’s because only a tiny fraction of people making more than a million dollars, probably less than one percent, are actually small business owners and only a tiny fraction of that tiny fraction is a traditional job creator."

Harry ponder this: we've been having roughly 400,ooo first time requests for unemployment every week for months and months on end yet somehow at the end of the month its not 1.2 million jobs lost. Jobs are created every day and millionaires are responsible in one way or another for them all. They can't keep up any better because of you and the rest of your party.

dogtowner, et al,

It is not reasonable to assume that anyone in Washington is serious about rebuilding America; least of all - professional politicians like Harry Reid.

What we do and How we pay for it:

You have, no doubt, noticed that a number of federal departments are in a strategic position to help rebuild America. Of these, there are about eight (8) that need to be brought online for a maximum effort to the rebuilding and rejuvenation process. In effect, their budgets need to be, in some cases, quadrupled:
  • Corps of Engineers – $5.1B to $20B
    • Plan, and build, new commercially usable locks and dams. Initiate new civil engineering projects include Mississippi River flood control, and dredging the waterway for improved navigation.
    • Design and build Gulf Coast flood protection systems.
    • Design and construction management new electrical power generation facilities.
    • Restoration of ecosystems and new forestry.
  • Energy – $26.3B to 105B
    • Design and build safe and powerful, nuclear reactor production for the nation.
    • Conduct energy-related research into alternative sources.
    • Plan and build geothermal generation plants; massive wind farms and solar arrays in the desolate areas.
  • Transportation – $72.5 billion to $100B
    • Plan and build fast, safe, efficient, accessible, and convenient transportation system for commerce.
      • Better airports
      • Rejuvenation current highways, and build newer hughways.
      • Rebuild the Marine port facilities
    .

    And so on with these agencies: (I could write for days on this subject.)

  • Environmental Protection Agency – $10.5B to $30B
  • National Science Foundation – $7.0B to $10B
  • National Infrastructure Bank – $5.0B to $10B
  • Agriculture – $26.0B to $100B
  • Small Business Administration – $0.7B to $1B

This would represent a reduction in the DOD Budget of approximately 22%; or, from about $663B to $520B (a difference of nearly $143B). This reduction represents (slightly less than) the combined cost of the Afghan/Iraq War for the same year --- 2010.

The idea is simple. If the nation embarks on such a course, there will arise a very real need for an educated work force, more students, and more smaller business to provide the ancillary support needed. There will be a need for real scientist and engineers, as well as construction workers. This reinvestment will circulate more money inside the US economy at both the state and local level, and it will begin to build new markets for the exchange of new technologies.

Finally, it adds to the net worth of the nation (home improvements) and gives America a competative advantage in the cost of production and the associated transportation costs.

This is just a "Thumbnail View." And Again, it is not the way the 20th Centruy Political Leader thinks, and why - if we keep choosing Leaders from the old school, they will fail us all. We need leaders who are passionate about the health and sturdiness of our nation. Not professional politicians that are greedy for power.

Most Respectfully,
R
