“Organized public works, at home and abroad, may be the right cure for a chronic tendency to a deficiency of effective demand. But they are not capable of sufficiently rapid organisation (and above all cannot be reversed or undone at a later date), to be the most serviceable instrument for the prevention of the trade cycle.” (Keynes, Collected Writings, vol. XXVII, p.122 ). http://thinkmarkets....-works-skeptic/
In words humans understand: By the time an infrastructure project gets off the ground the business cycle will already be getting better. Then the money that was supposed to fight the downturn will be adding to the upswing ... and starting the whole cycle again.
Then again Keynes said a good way to end a downturn is to bury buckets of money and let people dig them up.

I totally agree with you.And it's the boogey man of communism, nay-saying economists, and the war on the New Deal that has allowed our infrastructure to fall into such disrepair or obsolescence. Chicago's rail woes are embarrassing, and need far more than 100 million dollars to allay, maybe Warren Buffet can pitch in.
You know who has really good infrastructure too? Greece.
On the other hand, at least they have something to show for it. All were gonna get for our debt is a lot of molle gear flooding army surplus stores and a lot of broken promises. To make it even worse, I don't think we're even getting oil out of it.
But yeah, bring on the high speed trains and modern nuclear plants.

I won't need 200 mil for that, but I'd gladly burn it up in seriously delinqunet spending habits. Vote for me, William S. Burroughs, deputy chief of city sewers and sanitation for Saint Louis county.
We now return you to your previous program, already in progess.

Also, unfortunately, not even the Coast Guard (yes, I've attempted to get into every service) will let someone in with Crohn's disease. To think, had I not had to leave ROTC (due to my illness), i'd be a lieutenant by now!
Anyway, hope this works out...

I for one am honestly tired of school and living off loans. Unfortunately a graduate degree is helpful in marketing oneself in a tight education field.

This sounds incredibly like me. I had to leave ROTC after getting Crohn's Disease, went into education, and found there was nothing out there for a Social Science teacher with a bachelors. The absolute best luck to you.

Unless of course the schools you apply to hire someone with a bachelors degree to save money, since they might be riffing either of you come the end of the school year anyway. Good luck to you though.. I've aided in middle schools the two previous school years and am a substitute this year. Despite poor short term outlook for teaching jobs [especially in the social sciences] I'm hoping to head back to school to pick up my teaching certificate in the Fall, hopefully endorsed in science as well as social studies.
