54. The transportation plans proposed by Congressman Oberstar and Obama are not direct government job

programs organized along the lines of the WPA and CCC.

You don't understand the difference.

Every year the federal govenments provides funds for transportation infrastructure and have done that at least since Eisenhower's Interstate Highway System project that began in 1956.

However, it's a shame that the Obama administration torpedoed the 500 billion dollar transportation infrastructure plan proposed by Congressman Oberstar last year.

Don't you agree?

Here's more information on that matter:
