Obama Jobs Speech to Congress

Another 450 billion? Idiot. I guess they figure another half trillion won't matter.

Does anyone honestly believe this bill will be paid for?

spending now .... that would be 'paid for' by proposed/anticipated/hoped-for cuts in currently planned spending increases over 10 years ... what household in America can get away with that?

The first-half performance will make those who really are in the middle more receptive to the 2nd half antics, IMO. It will sound better to them because of the positive feelings from the 1st half. I would say it will grade out quite well among independents...we'll see, I guess....

maybe so but isn't it transparent to the point of being insulting?

I mean "I don't believe we have to choose between jobs and worker safety" c'mon man that's a ridiculous strawman.

maybe I'm paying too much attention but when he gets into this crap it's like a bad freshman debate entrant. He's supposed to be the smartest guy in the room - act like it. He's also preaching unity and working together but these comments are all intellectually dishonest slams on his opponents.

Say what you like about Bush - he was a lot more straight forward and much less of a passive-aggressive guy.

Just got back from Singapore a couple of weeks ago. They seem to be doing a few things right...

- escalating GDP, very low crime rate, and negative unemployment.

Interesting concept. If you are not working, then you don't get any support from the government. BUT.... as long as you are working (e.g. bagging groceries, serving fries, or pumping gas for our SC grads), and you make less than a certain income, then the government will continue to help support you to a point. In reality, it seems we have incentives to keep people from working (i.e. they can continue to draw unemployment), whereas Singapore encourages people to work and as long as they are contributing somehow then the government will continue to help them.

Why is it that when everyone in the US knows we have a serious debt problem after the enormous spending between this administration and the previous, Obama proposes yet more spending?

Why is it so hard to understand that we cannot spend our way out of this mess? Is he really that clueless or is it an ego thing?

These will be temporary cuts right? How long will that help if it is temporary?

May not help at all. If it's temporary it doesn't inspire any confidence in the domestic marketplace, so investment here may still not happen.

Anyone else get the strange feeling that someone was shoving a shovel full of shiii down your throat during the entire speech? I had to turn it off - couldn't take the standing o.

he's the king of the false choice

Spend $450 billion dollars now, it will create jobs, and I’ll tell you how I’m going to pay for it a week from Monday. If you disagree, you want to expose kids to mercury.

WE are the kings of the single choice: our way or the highway, because we don;t know what we're doing and have only the most elementary understanding of economics and an even worse understanding of history and governmental theory.

Slashing $ 4 trillion in spending on poor and the elderly now, we falsely claim, will create jobs and spur economic growth, which will further benefit our benefactors, the uber wealthy and corporate elite and we’ll never tell you by how much. If you disagree with us, we will unelect you if you are in office and childishly and ironically mock you with our own retarded educational standing.

These guys are so pathetic

White House Claims Support from Republican Governor, then Backs Away | The Weekly Standard

At 6:51 a.m., the White House sent out an email with the following subject: "Michigan Governor Rick Snyder Backs American Jobs Act." It was odd, not because Snyder is a Republican, but because the governor's statement was not an endorsement of the president's plan at all.

The Michigan governor first noted certain overlap in regard to certain policy proposals in Obama's approach and his own. "Tonight the president laid out a plan calling for many changes at the federal level that we have already made here in Michigan," Snyder's statement read. "The president proposed cutting payroll taxes for small businesses in half to encourage job growth; in Michigan, we already ended the double tax on small businesses. The president proposed ending loopholes for corporations. In Michigan, we already did that by switching to a flat, 6 percent corporate income tax that is simple, fair and efficient. These are changes that will help create an environment where jobs can grow, and they should be considered by Congress."

Snyder went on to "urge our leaders in D.C. to continue to follow Michigan’s lead by balancing the budget, paying down long-term debt and saving for the future," and praise the selection of Republicans Dave Camp and Fred Upton to the supercommittee.

Sure enough, within an hour, the White House backed away from claiming Snyder's endorsement. At 7:34 a.m., the White House resent the same email but with a different subject: "CORRECTED: Michigan Governor Rick Snyder on American Jobs Act."

I've got a jobs proposal:

Stop paying people to sit around doing nothing (ie, unemployment). If we cap unemployment after 3 months, that would get people off their couch and back to work. Why? Because the only way they could get paid is to work.

And don't tell me that companies aren't hiring. Monster.com isn't going out of business anytime soon. :furious3:

Almost forgot... lower my freakin payroll taxes too. That stuff sucks.
