It was non-existent Because of right wing en mass opposition.
Stop your lying - Obama admitted there was no such thing as 'shovel-ready' jobs, not that Republicans blocked his effort. Why can't you lying f*ers ever be honest?!It was non-existent Because of right wing en mass opposition.The only plan Democrats had to put Americans back to work was the non-existent 'Shovel-Ready' projects. Under Obama a record number of Americans joined the existing ranks of those on unemployment, welfare, & food stamps. Stop blaming others for Obama and Democrats failures.Because right wingers had nothing but repeal. All Senate republicans voted against it:Really? When Democrats controlled both Congress and the WH, how much of that did they get done? The closest they got was a promise from Obama to create 'shovel-ready job's which he later had to admit did not even exist.Upgrading "trade infrastructure". The democrats also try to upgrade physical infrastructure despite right wing opposition.Yes, Democrats recognized the value for America in Trump's new Trade Deal. Hungry for a WIN, democrats climbed onboard the Trump Train to get one.In late 2019, the Trump administration won support from congressional Democrats for the USMCA after agreeing to incorporate stronger labor enforcement.Way to go, Joe!

The second of these bills, was the Rebuild America Jobs Act, S. 1769, a bill to put workers back on the job while rebuilding and modernizing America, would've spent $50 billion on transportation infrastructure projects and $10 billion to fund an "infrastructure bank."[26] The bill was introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar on October 31, 2011 and failed in a 51–49 vote for cloture on November 3, 2011.[26][27] In the failed motion to proceed to consider the legislation, 51 Democrats voted in favor of opening debate on the legislation and 47 Republicans Senators, joined by 1 Democratic Senator Ben Nelson and 1 Independent Senator Joseph Lieberman, voted no.[26] The $60 billion bill investing in roads, bridges and infrastructure, would have been paid with a 0.7% tax on Americans earning more than $1 million per year.[28]--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jobs_Act
Yet, right wingers are willing to blame that administration for the weakest of recoveries. Why is that, right wingers?
