Obama hopes to create jobs with $50bn
 [Iran Press TV] US President Barack B.O.Obama has lobbied for a rise in spending on transportation projects in an attempt to create jobs for the ailing middle class. ... because we got lotsa money and we should spread it around to B.O.'s contributers... The USD 50 billion plan is an initial step in a six-year transportation program that includes building, repairing or maintaining thousands of miles of roads, rail lines and airport runways, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported. The plan was unveiled by Obama on the Labor Day during in a privately held meeting with governors, mayors, and transportation officials. The plan comes as the US unemployment rate continues to remain close to 10 percent. Good idea. Put the ten percent of the populace that's unemployed to work on public works projects. By the time World War II rolls around the depression should be almost over. The administration says the plan would particularly help create middle-class jobs in the construction, manufacturing and retail sectors. "Where's the money come from?" "Same place."
