While President Obama's "jobs plan" may not be to everyone's liking it contains one proposal I strongly support. A recent nationwide study showed that to bring our infrastructure up to date we would need to spend in excess of a trillion dollars. Having said that, Obama's proposal to begin repairing roads, bridges and public buildings will be a good start. Eventually, we will have to do this work. The longer we wait the more it will cost. In addition, this project will provide well paying construction jobs and business for construction and engineering companies across the country.
Not a fan of Obama but liked the infrastructure aspect of his speech. How about starting ASAP here in the Northeast as we have some major projects waiting after Irene.? Something like that benefits all and not just a chosen few. Lets lay off on "green jobs" iniatives until we get our house in order. The big scandal out in california regarding solar jobs doesn't bode well in the public's eye.Wasted money and pilfered from the american people Need some concrete jobs to move America forward. Not theories in the sky...
"NO BOONDOGGLES" I think that was for you Mr. Hein. We have to spread resources out to cover a large area and high ticket items with small numbers of people affected need to be shelved. There are too many people in need of basic access to be worrying about the inconvenienced few. Plenty of worthy repairs to go around.
Love the presidents plan. TAX THE RICH
Use Kingston's job plan - drink at the "Club" get job as Mayor's campaign Treasure then end up with job as head of Housing Authority or Community Development. Nephew and his spouse of Alderman at Large get newly created evironmental educator jobs while trash pickup stops and slows to a crawl. State layoffs employees but Bill Reynolds and Sottile's son get jobs there?
After spending a trillion dollars on the last "plan" he wants to wast another 500 Billion on projects which never happen while taking more money from the same people who create jobs. Just like before we will have teachers hired then fired after the money runs out.
We need real jobs and to eliminate the regulations that are killing business. Look at the AVR project and Bellaire which would be hiring 800 people just in construction.
Doing the same thing expecting different results is the defination of "stuck on stupid" Give us streamlined regs and access to capital and we will get us out of the situation. Govt is not the answer.
Talk about "stuck on stupid" these alleged job creators haven't created any in years! Time to cutoff the profit hoarding tax evading villains. Give the tax incentives to the real job creators, not the greedy little pigs. They've outsourced enough jobs already. Enough is enough!
How about making tax rates linked to employment records? Create jobs and pay less, stash cash abroad without reinvesting and pay a nice 90% wartime penalty tax. I bet you'll see a lot more job creators then.
The ponzi scheme that social security has been turned into has to be exposed. The ridiculous cap on contributions could only be justified with a system of means testing that cuts off benefits to those earning above the cap. The failure to see that the falsely labeled " job creators" have shirked their responsibility out of sheer greed, hides the reasons that this program has become a ponzi scheme. Rick Perry may be correct in his labelling, but he doesn't mention that his policies are responsible for making it so. A lot like his stance on climate change. He points out the path to the gates of hell then beckons the foolhardy to follow him in.
