The House of Representatives is scheduled to consider the Jobs for Main Street Act today, December 16. The measure will create additional jobs for construction workers, teachers, police officers, firefighters and others, and to extend critical assistance for the unemployed and people who have lost health insurance, the most recent step in Congress’ year-long efforts to rescue the economy and stem the crippling impacts of the worst recession in generations.

The jobs for main street act looks like it really can work and things do seem to be bouncing back as far as the economic downturn is concerned with many backs able to now pay back the loans they received from the government earlier on in the year.
