But in the short term we have to strengthen that foundation with some emergency measures to put people back to work now.” Lugar said he has been "searching for a vehicle” which meets the following tests; “One. it must create the greatest number of jobs in the shortest amount of time; Two. it must be consistent with our overall economic recovery program. and Three, it must be temporary and not establish a permanent federal financial involvement. ’’ "This housing program meets those tests.” Lugar said “It would begin showing tangible results within weeks of passing Congress Not only would it create an estimated 300.000 housing construction jobs, but there would be a major spin-off in job expansion in other areas of the economy. There would be more than 400.000 jobs m manufacturing, wholesaling, transportation and so on These new jobs will create $1.4 billion in personal income tax and sl.l billion in corporate income tax “Housing has always led us out of a recession before, and it will do so again with this program.” Lugar said "The problem now is that unemployment in construction is now 18.7 per cent. If we don't do something now to preserve housing related jobs, when recovery comes, there won’t be enough people building homes and there will be terrific inflationary pressures, just as there were after the 1975 recession '
