Crymomma

I agree with LOTR, infrastructure jobs, such as house building, road maintenance and building, municipal buildings maintenance, etc. are essential to the economy of any country, whether developed or not.

You see, if people have jobs and money in their pockets they will spend (some of) that money, shops will immediately start to feel the benefits and this will feed through to manufacturing, and so more jobs.

And as you know, if the American economy gets moving again then the world economy will come trundling after, like an oil tanker being pulled by guiding tug boats.

However, for the economy to work as expected you need banks to work as well and, quite frankly, unless they are properly regulated (and I don't mean a repeat of the incestuous relationship banks had with the regulatory authorities that brought most of the western economies to their knees) then the US will be "crusin for a brusin" again.
