They Want to Spend More Money in Mass.

The Boston Globe reports:

Daniel R. Feenberg, a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, said that with the exception of the job training programs, the Legislature's stimulus bills won't do much to boost employment in the Bay State. The real problem, Feenberg said, is the high cost of housing. The Legislature approved a separate measure last week designed to spur more housing construction.

''Is anyone on the Hill aware that the only thing that prevents the creation of more jobs in Massachusetts is the inability of people to find a place to live?" Feenberg said.
