Uh..I’m not an economist but I’m not sure why it’s such a horrible thing to pass tax cuts? The effect may be minimal but unless can point to how this is hurtful I’m for it.
Now do I believe it’s as simple as decribed? Of course not. If they start loading it with pork, legislation unrelated to a simple tax cut or even move to sneak in more “stimulas” Obama’s administration will pass off to their allies then I reject it.
But I don’t care about political optics only good policy. A simple tax cut won’t have me demanding they filibuster.
OK. Thing is. Giving tax breaks to employers so they hire people is well....STUPID! I am an employer and I need sales so I need more people to do jobs. I am not going to hire someone at $10 and hour and find them something to do until sales pick up so I can get my tax break next year. It is just insane! Find a way to give the American people confidence that things are going to get better and let the economy grow by getting out of the way!
