Decaying And Underemployed, America Needs A Politics Of Reconstruction | The National Memo: 

Considering how incessantly all politicians blather about jobs and how badly we need them, it is remarkable how little most of them actually do to increase employment. Much of what they’ve done in Washington over the past few years has achieved precisely the opposite, in fact – which leaves voters understandably cynical about government’s capacity to address an ongoing economic calamity.

Ignore the Washington termites. We can afford to save the great physical legacy we inherited and our jobless as well.
