The calls for another stimulus package grew louder Wednesday as a top Democrat urged House members to consider the idea.  Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) argued that another stimulus package just for infrastructure projects would produce more jobs.  Rendell, in testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, was careful not to criticize the $787 billion stimulus passed in February, saying it will boost the economy, but he argued another economic recovery package full of infrastructure projects could put more Americans to work.  The stimulus has created up to 2,000 new jobs in Pennsylvania and saved up to 10,000 more, he said.  “I would like to see a second stimulus devoted solely to infrastructure,” he said. “It’s what produces jobs, and produces orders for factories — American factories.”
