It appears to me that this is more of a work bill instead of a job bill ... and there is a difference . Raking leaves is work , but isn`t a permanent job . What I see is a lot of works projects , but very little that creates/stimulate new Job growth ... which is essential to turning things around .
Looks like to me that a lot of those projects will be a massive drain on the economy in the future .
For example , I fail to see how increasing Pell grants creates jobs ... it creates ( hopefully ) graduates who need jobs . Construction jobs ? They vanish after the project is over. Sorry , this just appears to be all smoke and mirrors to me .
