what did you think of the president's speech [View all]

well to try to stay positive I personally think the trillion for infrastructure was the most positive for adding jobs. Our roads have been sadly overlook in the last 20 years. The interstate projects of 60's 70's and 80's lifted our nation out of the poverty wages of the post war 50's. This will create jobs for Americans,keep the money in the country, create satellite jobs like mom and pop vendors, bed and breakfast etc. But more than that the wages will be higher, put money in pockets and take many off the unemployment or welfare checks.
I'm all for improving health-care costs but high deductibles and savings accounts doesn't equal the playing field. It will simply put bad policies on the market. And lead to more medical bankruptcies.
