Obama Jobs Speech to Congress

[volinbham]

Probably not the smartest idea in the long run for the employer either. Not to stereotype, but somebody out of work for a whole year, on average, probably doesn't have the best job skills or is extremely picky about where they work.

I guess you can always fire them later and collect the tax credit

 

[volinbham]

c'mon corporate jet owners

 

[myrobbins7]

Well tell Warren to write a f***ing check to the US govt!

 

[BeecherVol]

Here we go. "Fair share".

 

[volinbham]

Now he's channeling Clinton - lower the corp tax rate

Depends on if it makes sense economically with how much they are paid and how big the credit is.

 

[volinbham]

simple BS

 

[BeecherVol]

Simple math says you can't spend more than you make for very long.

 

[volinbham]

So on the payroll thing - is he proposing that instead of the 2% cut to go to 3%?

 

[rjd970]

He is going to have to come to the realization that he has an opposition congress he needs to work with if he wants anything to get done. At the very least meet halfway, at the most concede more that halfway. The liberal agneda simply isn't going to pass like it did in 2009.

Agree - it's the Clinton strategy.

Simple math is overrated in government.

simple BS

I call it "pure" BS myself.

 

[volinbham]

Overall, the speech is good. Wonder if the details will live up to the hype?

Interesting that he said "private contractors" waiting for jobs. Wonder if they'll be union set asides and wage controls to make union shops competitive for all these construction jobs.

 

[volinbham]

The whole how it's going to be paid for thing didn't make sense either. Is he asking the Super Committee to add .45 trillion to the 1.5 trillion in cuts they are supposed to come up with.

 

[BeecherVol]

Yes.

 

[volinbham]

It's STRAWMAN time

 

[volinbham]

Beecher you told me this thing was cancelled

 

[rjd970]

Still at work, doesn't sound like I'm missing anything that hasn't already been peddled.

 

[volinbham]

The STRAWMAN is getting a lot of play tonight - as usual.

a little more aggressive on tax cuts.

now he's in full on "There are some people that....(insert strawman)"

and "I reject the notion we have to choose between (insert good thing) and (strawman)"

He kinda cleared up the last part.

This is a really good speech. You are getting a preview of his campaign and he's in pretty good form here.
