  • House getting ready to pave the way?

    House Democrats have announced plans for an economic forum on Monday "to help Congress develop an economic recovery plan that focuses on creating jobs and strengthening our economy."

    If they are following the EJ play book I would assume this means infrastructure, green tech, alternative energy? Maglev maybe?

    EJ,

    How much did you pay for your time machine?

    Then again it could be nothing more than another "Let's mail some cheques to our constituents so they can go to the mall and buy something to feel good enough to re-elect us". A Phase II of what they did earlier this year.

    An election just weeks away is not normally conducive to rational, strategic thought of long term goals and objectives.

    Handouts for home heating would be more their typical style at this juncture.

      I'm 99% sure they will push this same bill again:

      H.R.7110
      Title: Making supplemental appropriations for job creation and preservation, infrastructure investment, and economic and energy assistance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other purposes.
      Sponsor: Rep Obey, David R. [WI-7] (introduced 9/26/2008) Cosponsors (None)
      Related Bills: H.RES.1507
      Latest Major Action: 9/26/2008 Received in the Senate.

      This bill includes grants for airports, grants for infrastructure projects, capital for Amtrak, 21ST CENTURY GREEN HIGH-PERFORMING PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES, funds for renewable energy research, advanced battery research, an extension of unemployment benefits, workforce training monies and a temporary MEDICAID extension.
