I don't know what you're on about with the campaign, but wiping out the 10% bracket with general agreement in Congress is a lot simpler than setting up a massive program to refurbish buildings for energy efficiency.  That's not to say that the idea doesn't have merit, -- it does -- but you're talking about moving an enormous amount of bureaucracy and dealing with all sorts of fights in Congress.  My point is that they need to be pumping money into consumers' hands now, and then move to public works projects.

It seems to me that taxes are already way too low in the US.
Also, tax cuts hit the wrong targets (if you don't have a job you probably don't pay income taxes). And they don't have much of an immediate effect either -it comes with future earnings.

But this guy may explain it better.
