As the Great Recession drags on, 26 million Americans are suffering the misery of unemployment or under-employment.
Many are in desperate poverty, just struggling to survive. This is an emergency!
We could put 3 million Americans to work immediately as teacher's aides in every public school classroom in the U.S.
It would cost just $55 billion, and is easily paid for by bringing 1/3 of our exhausted troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
It would help both teachers and students deal with overcrowded classrooms caused by deep education cuts.
And every dime in pay would stimulate our economy from the bottom up, creating more jobs in the U.S.
President Obama, please create 3 million jobs now!
