Councilman Garduño encourages President Obama and Congress to implement a large-scale public works program to put people to work and help the country get back on it's feet. From the article:
"Jobs created through a federal jobs program should pay good wages and have strong labor protections. There are a number of ways to pay for this kind of program. One idea is to place a small fee on financial investment transactions, which some economists say could raise $100 billion a year. Given our bailout of Wall Street, such a tax would be a just way to bail out main street."
I don't know, Rey. Invest in communities? Sounds kinda crazy.
1 Tell us what you think:
We pay for just about every financial transaction we make why not them?
