An economic recovery plan

This week's Obama-Chat to the nation includes economic proposals to pull out of this depression. Some features:

1. Make government buildings more energy efficient
2. Invest in national infrastructure
3. Modernize school buildings
4. Improve Internet access for all
5. Improve & modernize healthcare

This assumes a creation of over 2 million jobs, especially important since the nation just lost 1/2 million! The above items all seem to me, IMHO, to be good ones because:

1. It creates jobs in this country
2. An improved infrastructure results in better transportation, cost reductions, etc.
3. Our schools are where we teach the future workers of America
4. The use of the Internet is key to education and access to world views
5. Healthcare costs are a main reason for companies locating outside the US
6. Reducing our energy needs allows us to spend money in other, more crucial, areas

I also don't think this is enough, but it's a start. After all, he's not in office yet.
