Brunner: Recycle Bailout Money for Infrastructure Jobs

How does this woman keep coming up with all of these ideas? In an email to supporters and blog post, Jennifer Brunner proposes using leftover bailout money to improve Ohio's terrible infrastructure, creating new jobs in the process:

Instead of borrowing more money and digging our deficit hole deeper to fund
nation-building activities in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress should invest a
substantial portion of the unspent TARP funding on nation-building here at home.
And we can start by rebuilding our infrastructure, state-by-state. Here in Ohio,
investing in our aging highways, bridges, and water and sewer systems will make
our lives safer while creating jobs for tens of thousands of Ohioans who want to
work.

What good ideas have Fisher or Portman had lately?
