Nothing but a way to shovel more taxpayer money into higher education & welfare corporatism. Each of these corporations may hire a few score workers each, on average. But that won’t put a dent in a single month’s employment figures much less turm things around.
When the accounting is done I bet you’ll find that each job created cost over 250k amd pays less than 50k in salary & benefits. The rest went to govt, educators & corporate tax breaks.
But Obama will feel like he’s done something!
Half of what he gave to ACORN.
The government takeover of industry continues....
As long as there are NIMBY’s & BANANA’s in the US there will not be enough mining, foresting, drilling and quarrying to provide the raw materials and supplies for a manufacturing rebirth.
Great,
another government “program” of completely arbitrary size, unscaled in any way to the effect it’s intended to achieve (as if that’s even worth considering....just name a number)
another set of 3-4 letter “initiatives” or “acts” designed by liberal arts majors with zero experience who couldn’t even patch the elbows of their own sweaters.
another to-be-named czar position or two
another several hundred pages of regulations and reporting requirements
another pile of slush money available to to be re-slushed back into 0bama’s 2012 campaign fund.
another effort designed with no accountability no liability for the thieves who will plunder it.
In Barack Hussein Obama’s “America”, when the government is giving unions and “community organizers” like ACORN BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars, $500 million is chump change.
The big government, commie approach to reinventing manufacturing is going to do for us what it did for the Soviet Union. I shudder whenever I hear a politician speaking like this, be it a genuine dumb@rse like Obama, or some Keynesian bubble-head with a first rate, Ivy League brainwashing. The government isn’t the economy. It is a lead weight around the neck of the economy. Anyone wanting to reinvent manufacturing in the US in a way that doesn’t cost more than it spends will have to first figure out how to do away with the unions, nothing a commie flake like Obama will ever do. After that he will have to go after regulations, government bureaucracy, taxes on money that goes into reinvestment and welfare spending that helps destroy the work ethic. As long as the government is spending taxpayer’s money to create and reinforce bad culture, bad education, no principles and values of personal achievement, America manufacturing and progress will continue to die out.
Hey BOZ, Save you half a billion. Cut Taxes, Cut SPENDING, cut the graft, repeal your STOOPID OBAMACARE and watch business grow...Oh, and go play golf until 1/20/13...
If the GOP doesn’t get off this stuck on the, America-damaging stupid of “free trade” soon, democrats are going to destroy Republicans’ chance of ever winning anything again.
America is collapsing.
The first party to actually TRY TO CHANGE THAT will lead for a generation.
Wake up GOP. “Free trade” is not a light at the end of the tunnel.
“Free trade” is the train.
One time one OSHSA 'w'itch barged into a Job Meeting at a Construction Site I was at. She flashed her gubmint badge and acted like she was Heinrich Himmler. Two Superintendents (Old Timers) told her 'F-Off'. Then they walked out and got their men back to work. This action spread fast and she got zero cooperation. The GC was the only one who gave her some basic info on the project. She was not pleased.

This puts him half way to his 1 billion goal for his campaign.
Cut corporate taxes, you POS!
Why isn’t even our side talking about tax cuts????
Re-invented from barley functioning to completely dead!
“fascism”...the 21st recycling of a failed 19th century PhD thesis...
reinvent means destroy.
and 1.2 billion to build the ditch for it to get stuck in (the EPA)
“AMP, as the program is called, will harness the power of public-private partnerships between universities, industry and governmental agencies in an effort to streamline innovation and bring products more quickly to market. “
And every one of theses “innovations” which are worth their salt will be stolen and implemented by China before the first bit of red-tape is even cut. *rolls eyes*
I wish I had a money tree in my backyard, like the government apparently does, and could pluck oh about $500 million to get this AnointedIdiot out of office....=.=
Oh great; a university president with little or no real-world experience in charge. Typical Dumbocrat move.....
