Obama to Invest in America's Future

There's been some negative talk about about Obama's plan to overcome our current economic crisis. His plan is targeted to created over 2 million jobs by 2011 by investing in America. He wants to build and improve roadways, bridges, public works, as well as promote development of alternative power sources. Most of the negativity comes from the predicted cost of such a plan.

In my opinion, the money's going to be spent anyway. We will dig ourselves deeper into debt. And with current spending most of it would probably go overseas, increase the deficit, and not increase America's ability to sustain a decent [much less, prosperous] economy into the future. So we might as well invest in ourselves for a change. 

It's time to think about the long-term concerns of the United States again. And it's time to be selfish, it's time to clean up our own backyard and make sure this great country of ours will last long enough to celebrate another centennial.
