Wilderness Bill equals economic stimulus?

I'd like to see a Northern Rockies Wilderness Bill because it's well past time we settle the wilderness debate. Providing full wilderness protection for areas that have been managed as such for years just makes sense.

But I also like the jobs creation elements of ecological restoration mentioned in the bill. Lets put folks to work removing poorly designed forest roads and the damages of clear cuts. Connecting jobs with restoration is a good thing.
