Obama Sets Expansive Goal for Jobs

Plan Aims to Create or Save 2.5 Million Positions by 2011

President-elect Barack Obama is developing a plan to create or preserve 2.5 million jobs over the next two years by spending billions of dollars to rebuild roads and bridges, modernize public schools, and construct wind farms and other alternative sources of energy.

The plan, which Obama announced yesterday during the weekly Democratic radio address, is more expansive -- and undoubtedly more expensive -- than anything proposed so far to revive the nation's deteriorating economy. Obama said the darkening economic outlook demands that Washington act "swiftly and boldly" to diminish the risk that the nation "could lose millions of jobs next year."

"The news this week has only reinforced the fact that we are facing an economic crisis of historic proportions," Obama said, citing chaotic financial markets, rising jobless claims and the specter of a "deflationary spiral that could increase our massive debt even further." He provided few details and no price tag, but said his economic team is working on "a plan big enough to meet the challenges we face that I intend to sign soon after taking office."

While cast as a response to a rapidly worsening crisis, the plan could enable Obama to shift massive sums to domestic priorities that Democrats say have long been neglected, such as health care and education. It also could provide seed money to reshape major U.S. industries, hastening the production of wind and solar energy and fuel-efficient cars, for example. Obama said the plan would be "a down payment on the type of reform my administration will bring to Washington."

Obama has scheduled his second formal news conference since the election for tomorrow to introduce his economic team, including Federal Bank of New York President Timothy F. Geithner, Obama's nominee for Treasury secretary. According to Democratic sources, Harvard economist Lawrence Summers, a Clinton administration Treasury chief, will be named director of the National Economic Council. In this capacity, Summers will coordinate the Obama administration's overall economic policy.

Obama's advisers are coordinating with Democrats in Congress to craft a proposal intended to spur economic activity. Congressional leaders have said they hope to pass it shortly after the new Congress convenes next year and have it on Obama's desk soon after he takes office on Jan. 20.

Obama's address echoed many of the same ideas Democrats on Capitol Hill have been advocating for nearly a year.....

Who is this pretender who has stolen my Glorious sign on? Your shovel privliges will be revoked and you will have to dig the People's Turnips with your bare hands!!!!


Good artical though.

Obaldét! My apologies comrade! I will promptly request a new identification from the Nomenklatura

Comrades,

Thinking OWPA
What a glorius time we live in!

Comrades,

I know I speak for us all when I say I am eager for Hope™ and Change™. Having discharged my duties to keep tabs on reactionaries, I found that there are strange forlorn creatures out there who doubt The One. Thus I decided to build a small timeline of Progress:

1. Lenin: The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917
2. Mao: The Great Leap Forward of 1958-1963, though some place it earlier, thus making it even more progressive!<br>3. Pol Pot: The Super Great Leap Forward of 1964-uncertain, but probably 1978

Comrades, witness lucky #4:
4. The Super Duper Great Leap Forward of 2009-2013 (and beyond)

Pay no attention to the fact that in Japanese and certain dialects of Chinese, 4 is associated with death (one pronunication for it in Japan is shi, which can also mean "death"). Any such coincidences are purely coincidental.

Glorious!

Comrades-
How dare this Class Enemy Lori Montgomery and her Thought Criminal Accomplice Neil Irwin question the Obamessiah??! Of course it's possible! It's not only possible- it is incredibly realistic. The most progressive part of this glorious plan is that all 2.5 million workers will be unpaid. As so many despondent proles are released from their shackles and lifted to the glory of giving according to their ability (often to their death), the capatalist pigs will realize the supremacy of socialism and will leave their foolish ways behind them.

If you know any despondent proles who may be of value to this little project, or any Class Enemies who cling to their guns, send them to Platform 7 immediately for inclusion in the Neo-New Deal^TM
