6. I'm worried that this New New Deal will just throw money at corporations.
I'm sorry, but I'm a little scarred by what's been going on with Halliburton and no-bid contracts and such. I have a bad feeling that the beneficiaries of these infrastructure rebuilding contracts will get real good at getting more money appropriated but not much else. Also, let's face it, not many Americans have the skills needed for construction jobs, and manual labor is pretty much out for most people over the age of 40. That said, I don't oppose the idea at all; I just have my reservations as to how it will be executed. The first thing that needs to be done is to root out all the Bushies who are embedded in civil service jobs!
