American Jobs Act should be re-titled by Obama "Let's get me re-elected Act"
It is so transparent that this is too little too late, a political ploy to be used against the R's who will not pass it with the revenue sources in it. Really, Mr. Obama, the "American Jobs Act"? Another stimulus?
After we bailed out GM, Banks etc three years ago would have been the perfect time for you to tackle american jobs---you had a Dem majority in the House and the Senate. Your advisers completely misread the intentions of the corporate stimulus receivers. You thought they were gonna use that money to hire?
He wants to end the Charitable contribution deduction for the wealthy? Bet the United Way loves that.
Wait a minute, we are going to continue with the payroll tax cut for employees and now add employers too?
I thought Social Security was in trouble? How does that make sense? You want to get some cash flowing again Mr. President, how about a cost of living increase for SS people. Hasn't been one in 3 years because food and gas prices are NOT taken into account when figuring COL.
Did you notice the jobs he talked about were Construction (Big Union), Teachers (Bigger Union), Police and Fire (Big Union).
Oh, and the new depreciation rules for his favorite enemy, corporate jet-owners (companies) raises 3 Billion------That's a speck of sand in the ocean.
This "jobs act" is nothing but a campaign stunt. Taxpayers pick up the cost of his trips around the country as he assails the Republican House. He can't wait to finger point at an obstructionist congress in the Presidential campaign he just launched in va, Oh, and NC.
Mr. Obama, get government out of the way of private investment. Let the free market correct the economy (it always has), get rid of the job-choking regulations, and allow business to operate.
