Of course, because who doesn’t think taxpayer-funded union jobs are the best way to get the economy back on track?

(The Hill) — Liberal House Democrats on Tuesday announced a jobs proposal to the left of President Obama’s jobs package.

At a news conference, members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus said Obama’s proposal was a good start, but that their own agenda would do even more to put people to work.

The CPC platform focuses on six areas for job creation and calls for a national infrastructure bank, green technology investment, new public-sector spending for job creation and closing tax loopholes and subsidies for big American businesses as well as discouraging large bonuses for CEOs of big corporations. . . .

Asked how passing either Obama’s agenda or a more liberal job-creation package would be possible given House Republicans opposition, Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) said it was important to get on the road and publicize Democrats’ job-creation plans around the country.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) added that public support would be key to passing the CPC plan.

“We do expect that the American people are going to bring pressure to bear and we’re going to fight like we expect to win because that’s how we do business,” Ellison said.
