WASHINGTON – During his visit to St. Paul on Wednesday, President Obama unveiled plans for a burst of spending on transportation and infrastructure projects, a proposal the White House says will save middle class jobs and provide an overdue investment in the country’s foundation.

Obama detailed his four-year $302 billion proposal that calls for building, fixing or maintaining thousands of miles of roads and rail lines. The president wants to use revenue from closing tax loopholes to raise the necessary funds.

Just what we need, more "shovel-ready jobs".

"closing tax loopholes"

So I am to assume he is finally going to fix up GE so that they pay taxes in the US?
