I dont understand why we are bailing out fannie mae and freddie mac for releasing money for people to get mortgages that are way beyond their means.With all the bridges and interstructure roads,etc. that need to be repaired or replaced we could have taken that money to create constructive jobs that would last for years. The people losing their jobs could be re-employed in the construction industry and learn new job skills. This is what happened in the 1930s in the TVA project,hoover dam,grand coolee dam,etc.,etc., There were 10,000 people working on the GRAND COULEE dam at its peak and the construction period was from 1934 to 1941 and beyond.A lot of people learned job skills that were used in the armed forces in world war 2 and the defense industries of world wat 2.
