I rise in support of TEA LU because it is the most effective economic stimulus package this House has considered since our economy began to slump. No, I am not talking about another tax cut. I am talking about a transportation bill. Infrastructure investments are the smartest, most profitable long-term job creation initiatives available to us at the Federal level at this time. By investing our resources in transportation projects, we accomplish what annual tax cuts have thus far failed to do. We create good jobs, jobs that actually pay a living wage. Workers in these jobs support their families by performing tasks that also improve their communities. Efficient transportation systems will also allow people to spend less time commuting and more time with their families. Traffic adds hours to a parent's workday, making it even more difficult to balance the competing demands of work and family. Vote for TEA LU.
