I think you maybe missing the point.


To get the economy back on track, the government is going to have to give money to someone to get it going. Now they are giving money to the bankers with the idea that i will filter down to the workers and they will spend it. So far the bankers have just used it to buy other banks or to bail themselves out. The only way to get things going, is to get the money to the workers.

You missed my point entirely. Obama's infrastructure plan is to get money to workers. It is the obverse of the principle of giving money to bankers. The people who will repair and improve highways are workers. The people who will install insulation and energy-efficient lighting are workers. The whole plan is to get money to workers.
