WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will announce on Monday a six-year infrastructure revamp plan with an initial investment of $50 billion to jump-start job creation, a white house official said.
Obama is committed to working with the Congress to fully fund the program, which also includes a proposed infrastructure bank to leverage private capital, the official said. Obama will make the announcement in Milwaukee, the official added.

...more vocal critics of the President. However, when he attempts to put into place a program such as this, I will be the first to praise him. Let's see what happens.
