Jobs For Main Street

In a 217 to 212 vote Wednesday evening, the House passed the Jobs for Main Street Act (H.R. 2847) "to create or save jobs here at home with targeted investments ($75 billion) for highways and transit, school renovation, hiring teachers, police, and firefighters, small business, job training and affordable housing – key drivers of economic growth that have the most bang for the buck. These investments are fully paid for by redirecting TARP funds from Wall Street to Main Street."
