If you wanted to create jobs in a way that has minimal effect on the deficit but has government action, the two best things you could do are the infrastructure bank and a simple SBA-like loan guarantee for all building retrofits, where the contractor or the energy-service company guarantees the savings.

A building does not have to be an important work of architecture to become a first-rate landmark. Landmarks are not created by architects.
