President-elect, Barack Obama's plan to rebuild America's infrastructure is the type of economic stimulus that America needs right now. Our country saw its greatest growth in the manufacturing of transportation products. The locomotive, the ocean liner, the jumbo jet and the automobile provided more good paying manufacturing jobs than any other segment of our society directly and indirectly.
As the computer age morphed into the information age American efficiency became the world standard accelerating the learning curve and reducing the number of workers required to run the old technology industries.
As I wrote in several previous pieces including 3 Pillars of Prosperity for America, it is time for a paradigm shift in our transportation products, transportation systems, and energy products. Building the 21st-Century transportation products, the infrastructure needed to support them, and alternative energy sources to become energy independent is the key to our future prosperity. Not only is it the right thing to do for our global environment it is the right thing to do for the American people as well.
If done right this program will ignite manufacturing, construction, telecommunication, green energy, and a host of related services especially in education and training.
Regardless of one's political affiliation it is time for all of us to get behind the incoming president and help him repair our battered economy and ensure a better America for our children.
