Clearly that is exactly what I am suggesting. Considering Obama and his administration quite obviously have no long-term plan at the moment, and hyped up their 'repowering of the American economy' into an $825 billion dollar taxpayer slush fund, which hasn't done anything it was designed to do, i.e. short term and immediate impact on the economy and jobs, yes, much of the little I understand enough about the economy has provided me an opinion where I would do pretty much the opposite of anything Obama has proposed.
Look at how they now have to 'fix' their $825 billion dollar mistake by spending more money on more immediate stuff.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Vowing to find new ways to stimulate the sputtering economy, President Barack Obama will call for long-term investments in the nation's roads, railways and runways that would cost at least $50 billion.
The infrastructure investments are one part of a package of targeted proposals the White House is expected to announce in hopes of jump-starting the economy ahead of the November election. Obama will outline the infrastructure proposal Monday at a Labor Day event in Milwaukee.
While the proposal calls for investments over six years, the White House said spending would be front-loaded with an initial $50 billion to help create jobs in the near future.

So much for the $825 billion. But hey, who cares, long-term at least. Taking from Peter to give to Paul is sound fiscal policy, right?
