At a conference earlier this week on "Real Investment in America" sponsored by the Campaign for America's Future (CAF), some 100 members of Congress, congressional staff, union leaders, academics and other experts urged the incoming Obama administration to act boldly to create fundamental changes in the economy that provide for long-term growth. The cornerstone of the economic package should be a massive investment in rebuilding the nation's infrastructure, they said.
AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker opened the conference by laying out the case that the best way to revive the economy for America's workers is by investing in the nation's infrastructure and its people.
