"With unemployment reaching levels high enough to terrify the hardiest soul, the debate is brewing about whether Washington needs to jump in and create infrastructure jobs through a public-service employment program a la the New Deal’s Works Progress Administration. With Obama’s job summit opening today, we figured we’d offer a rundown of the views on whether or not the government should be whipping up those jobs. Here are a few of the strongest views."

They absolutely should have dived in and done an FDR. We need a WPA. Not only from the perspective of needing the jobs, but also because this country has neglected its infrastructure for years, even during the high times when we had the budget surpluses to address these issues.

Agreed. Way past time for a public works plan.
