Seven Companies Profiting From Obama's 'New' New Deal

Amen - How can a public works project beat the tech captains of the last twenty years. Privates sector money is on the sidelines and unlike the 30's the fat cats have a very vibrant choice of competing national economies all competing for investment. Public works projects that today are vastly overpriced and faulty (Big Dig- Boston) will do nothing to entice the private capital - in fact it can scare it if there is a newly installed negative sentiment towards investors.

How about showing confidence in the private sector and making the corporate tax structure competitive. One should ask the question why does the government need unlimited growth in spending during a severe recession or credit freezeup?
