To the optimists, please answer a few questions about "The Obama Plan
The Economy
Quote:

It is true that we cannot depend on government alone to create jobs or long-term growth, but at this particular moment, only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe. Only government can break the vicious cycles that are crippling our economy – where a lack of spending leads to lost jobs which leads to even less spending; where an inability to lend and borrow stops growth and leads to even less credit.

Give an example of any Government Agency that can break the cycle, since Government Agencies are the ones that allowed this crippled economy to occur

To build an economy that can lead this future, we will begin to rebuild America. Yes, we’ll put people to work repairing crumbling roads, bridges, and schools by eliminating the backlog of well-planned, worthy and needed infrastructure projects.

I can see all the big corporate CEO's skydiving with their golden parachutes to start digging ditches for $8.00 per hour on a make work road project.
Immigration
Quote:
Improve Our Immigration System: Fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy and increase the number of legal immigrants to keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill.
Bring People Out of the Shadows: Support a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.
Work with Mexico: Promote economic development in Mexico to decrease illegal immigration.

Sorry, the immigration policy just answered the labor issue for the "Rebuilding of America" to " meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill".
Just a few thoughts on some of what seems strange about "The Agenda"
