In the midst of dire predictions for Democrats in November, President Obama spent part of his Labor Day in Milwaukee -- part of a week he'll spend promoting new initiatives to boost the economy. On Monday, the president called for spending an extra $50 billion on the nation's roads and railways, in hopes of putting more Americans back to work. Robert Siegel talks to NPR's Scott Horsley.
