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.
