re: #576 Aceofwhat?

Sure. I’ve said repeatedly that spending money to achieve a noteworthy but lofty goal is much more attractive to me than spending to achieve “infrastructure”.

So i’d be all in favor of, say, overhauling our power grid so that we don’t lose nearly as much energy through transmission. That’s spending which not only creates jobs, but leaves something more beneficial than three extra bridges in its wake. Short-term benefits + long-term awesomeness = a good jobs creation spending idea.

Make sense? I don’t want to build more roads. I want to build something that we private citizens aren’t yet ready to build on our own, but would benefit immensely by the effort.

So like a hydroelectric damn which would generate more power?
