From Newsmax.com:

"President-elect Barack Obama promoted an economic plan Saturday he said would create 2.5 million jobs by rebuilding roads and bridges and modernizing schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars.
"These aren't just steps to pull ourselves out of this immediate crisis. These are the long-term investments in our economic future that have been ignored for far too long," Obama said in the weekly Democratic radio address."

This makes a heck of a lot more sense than throwing money at banks, auto companies, insurance gaints, etc. If he is going to hire all Clinton people, he may as well go back to another Democrant Prsident for sound ideas and create public works projects like they did during the Depression.
