IF, and I mean IF, either party was serious about creating jobs, all that would be needed is a national works bill to repair the failing infrastructure of the United States. Bridges, roads, dams, levies etc are all below standard, and 26% of the bridges in this country are structurally deficient or obsolete. source The annual cost to just bring the infrastructure back to standard, not for improvements $786 Billion dollars, that total does not count dams, schools, waste water treatment, hazardous waste treatment, or dams. The number of jobs created would number in the millions.
