Obama's public works

He plans to push for a lot of spending to resuscitate the economy:

Although he put no price tag on it, he said he would invest record amounts of money in the vast infrastructure program, which also includes work on schools, sewer systems, mass transit, electric grids, dams and other public utilities. He vowed to upgrade computers in schools, expand broadband Internet access, make government buildings more energy efficient and improve information technology at hospitals and doctors’ offices.

Key in this for me is "schools" and "electric grids." We need improvements in both of these badly.
