It has been announced that the President will travel around the country to "listen" to voters in these hard economic times. I suppose the added publicity on people who are hostages, victims of the "DEAL"
I propose a few stops to be included on this tour. Instead of a "Listening Tour" it should be a JOBS TOUR. with each stop at a busted bridge, levy system, crumbling highway leaking water system.
Below are just a few of the infrastructure projects he could propose and dare Republicans to oppose them.
* California High-Speed Rail High Speed Rail Passenger – $45 billion (creating 686,250 jobs)
* Northeast Corridor HSR Upgrade – $32 billion (488,000 jobs)
* I-69 Trans Texas Corridor Highway – $30 billion (600,000 jobs)
* Networx program – East Coast – $20 billion (1,000,000 jobs)
* NextGen Air Traffic Control System, East Coast – $20 billion (360,000 jobs)
* Midwestern HSR Initiative – $20 billion (305,000 jobs)
* Electric Freight Rail – $20 billion (400,000 jobs)
This list is on a list of 100 projects that could create jobs today.
I know some of these have already been proposed but what better way to focus the attention of the press and the public on who is blocking jobs being created. Lets not wait for the Rethugs to define the Jobs issue.
Even better if he toured every Congressional District of these Tea Party Hostage Takers Stood in front of a crumbling bridge saying Congress person A$$H$LE and Leader Boner won't let us rebuild this bridge... etc.
