Senators Support Commercial Space

Several senators and my family friend, former Dept. of Transportation chief Norman Mineta, support commercial low-orbit space flight:

For sustainable earth applications, the spaceports that would benefit from NASA and commercial spending on space flights will generate new jobs in support industries, including materials, IT, design, transport, and energy. The U.S. focuses on environmental impact statements (EIS), but needs to also consider impacts on aerospace and terrestrial job creation, which is probably the #1 concern of American citizens right now. How can the U.S. stimulate more new jobs from its NASA spending?
