Jobs Plan

I was disappointed to hear that the president's latest jobs plan is basically something that was tried unsuccessfully in the Great Depression. It sounds like a good idea for the government to make jobs, and it sounds like a good idea to make roads and schools. However, since it didn't work in the Great Depression, and it didn't work in the stimulus bill passed several years ago (our unemployment rate was at 9.1% in August), I think that we should try different ideas.
