Really? Didn’t we already here not so long ago from Obama that the “shovel ready” jobs weren’t there? That the stimulus package he passed before didn’t work.
Isn’t the definition of insane something like – trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
He got this BS debt deal signed in and now he wants to spend money.

In his weekly address on Saturday, President Barack Obama called for Congress to approve more money for a new—and vaguely defined—program to repair roads, bridges and airports as a means of creating jobs for construction workers.
The program, Obama said, would create jobs for workers who used to build houses by “by giving loans to companies that want to repair our roads and bridges and airports.”
The president did not explain how loaning money to a company that wants to help repair a road, bridge or airport would cause more roads, bridges or airports to be repaired and thus necessitate the hiring of more construction workers to repair them.
He also gave no details of the loan program he envisions—who would qualify for a government loan under it or on what terms the lenders would pay the taxpayers back.
However, he did call the loans one of the “commonsense steps” he is proposing to get the American economy growing again.
“And we ought to give more opportunities to all those construction workers who lost their jobs when the housing boom went bust,” Obama said in his address. “We could put them to work right now, by giving loans to companies that want to repair our roads and bridges and airports, helping to rebuild America.
