:lol: yeah, and I've seen estimates that claim it would actually net reduce jobs, too; all ridiculous attempts to avoid a wedge between the environmentalist and union portions of the Democrat party.
Worth noting, however, is the same state department assessment said that it would indirectly create 38,000 jobs.
But by that measure (the one you presented) ALL construction jobs are "just temporary jobs". That seems to me to be a rather tough position for the party of Shovel Ready Stimulus to sell.
All construction jobs are temporary by nature; once it is built that construction job is done. But many construction workers (like me) often do maintenance and improvements on existing structures which help keep us busy (employed).
