  This editorial suggests with some interesting history and studies that we are running deficits in keeping our infrastructure up, on our ecosystem by continuing to pollute it too much and in not having more manufacturing.  Click here for the article.  The jobs programs that Obama passed or is currently pushing are way below what we need (according to a report on our infrastructure failing).  It also suggests that we did a massive amount of work in the New Deal jobs programs and nothing comparable since then.  Are we just short sighted and living for today?
