Remember this is the root cause of the recession. Until housing picks up, and new houses are being built again, everything else is just band aids.

Pretzel logic? Until people have jobs, they won't buy homes? But they won't have jobs until they build homes?

I really think this is going to be a long malaise, just like Japan, our population is aging and not spending. It is a death spiral.

Who knew. The President reads 285B.

"Obama directs EPA to withdraw proposed rules for ozone, smog"

If the expense were offset by cuts in spending should the US invest in infrastructure?

For those who think that tax cuts create jobs...how exactly does that work?

Here is a no brainer. Back off on job killing regulations/bureaucracy.

Heck, if memory serves even Obama agrees. Isn't he going to call for expedited permitting to get shovel ready projects going. The problem with that is that greasing the wheels for projects that his admin. is pushing does nothing to relieve the regulatory friction on the rest of the economy.
