"They're not going to be make-work jobs, but jobs doing the work that America desperately needs done, jobs rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, repairing our dangerously deficient dams and levees so that we don't face another Katrina."
I've extracted a sentence from Obama's speech. I might have been discussing this in one of the threads but once again a question regarding the use of "need+done" has come up.
Wasn't it supposed to be "needs to be done"? So could I say "There are certain things I need done" or "My car needs fixed"?
