17. "a large jobs creation program on par with the WPA " Right,

and that would need to be funded by Congress as the WPA was. It's a grand idea.

The WPA created 8 million jobs over 8 years. That's 1 million jobs per year.

The economy needs to create at least 3.5 million jobs per year to dig out of the hole in five years.

Business job creation is going to have to be part of the equation. There is no way around it.
