I want to know why there has been no big jobs package or big infrastructure bill out of our Congress in as long as I can remember.

This isn't just on Congressman Thompson, but he certainly has had the ability and the platform to write these bills and to try to get them passed.

We need to be pushing more jobs in housing and environmental clean up, instead of more refinery and cement factory jobs.

With the automation of more and more jobs, and more and more jobs being combined so companies can "downsize" and save a buck, we're going to need a federal jobs guarantee or else a guaranteed universal income. That is the future anyway.

One hundred percent automation means 100-percent unemployment.
