Description
We need a big public works project to provide good jobs and stimulate the economy. Like we built the interstate highway system in the 50s, I think in this decade we should build a national public wireless network to ensure all citizens have internet access. This investment would pay dividends for years.
The cost of this project would not be exorbitant, less than $100 BN I'm sure.
Arguments
If everyone has access to free wireless, I'm sure manufacturers would deliver cheap access devices - like $50 or less for a basic (but durable and functional) wireless access gadget (e.g., Nook/Kindle).
