The "Jobs" plan
Just curious what folks reactions to BarryO's Jobs speech is.
I didn't watch it but read "highlights" and heard some critiques.
Our country is broke, we are in a tremendous deficit which means too much going out and not enough coming in. He is proposing "tax cuts" which will do little for peoples incomes, avg. 1500 per year of "extra income". That equates to a hair over 100.00 per month which realistically is a drop in the bucket for most. Sure it is something but what is the long term cost?
So as a country we are broke and next year even less will be going to .gov.
Incentives for employers to hire? How many of those incentives will go directly to Unions?
Government cannot create jobs.
It just sounds like another "stimulus" package which we all know was an epic FAIL.
It has been said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.

It cracks me up that anyone expects the government to effect the economy in a significant manor. I don't care if its Obama, Bush, Clinton, or Reagan. When it comes down to it our country has a crappy economy because in the past 30 years companies found much cheaper ways to manufacture other places in the world. If we don't "make" anything here then how can we expect to employee people? You want to shoot some blame it has more to do with company's valuing their profit margin over any type of patriotism to this country.
The government can give them tax breaks and they will horde more money, then can attempt to increase taxes on the rich and they will just leave the country. Please enlighten me as to something the GOV can do to effect this?

The entire thing was a joke. “Pass this bill now” 17 f’ing times? Seriously? We haven’t even seen the bill (not that it matters) “It will be paid for” BULL Shite.
Convenient how this “credible threat to NYC and Washington came out 1 hour before his speech and that was all the left was talking about afterwards.
The thing that boils my blood more then anything was GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt sitting in the box next to that amazon Michelle. The guy is supposed to be our job czar and just got done sending jobs in the new xRay division to China. He is sitting on billions in foreign assets to avoid having to pay US taxes on and he is the guy who is advising on jobs in the country?
Try they all for treason.

And what little sneaky things are riding along with this bill???
-
Going to take a lot more than some bill to create jobs in the country. Time is the key. Small businesses are scared. Healthcare issues the economy and the stability of our leaders are all questionable. That doesn't make people want to hire unless they absolutely need the bodies. Another stimulus plan is all bongo is really proposing. The last was an epic fail and this one will be too if passed.

until we penalize companies for moving jobs outside of the country we will continue to go broke.
if you can make doodad here for $5 but choose to make offshore at 1$ we need to charge an extra $4 tarrif to remove the lure to move the job of making the doodad offshore.
