Porkulus 3, how can we fool them today -— Yep after reading it, the jobs’ bill center piece is extension of unemployment benefits. The tax credits are temporary rope a dope stuff ....
To create jobs you need demand which is sadly lacking everywhere.
Oh it also extends the Patriot Act ...
McConnell is demanding a time certain on when the estate tax would move before agreeing to any deal on the jobs bill.
-- This piece of crap isn't a jobs bill, it's porkulus 3. --
Yep, that and worse. If the Republicans won't accept a measure without a counterbalance (the estate tax revision), then it's a cinch that the "jobs" part is crap.
If the "jobs" part is seen as good by Republicans, then they wouldn't condition their agreement on a quid pro quo.
Why would employers bother when the cost of compliance with these new regulations will leave them with about 3 cents? Plus, there's nothing to stop the statists from claiming, a la TARP, that since the $1,000 is directly connected to an employee, the employer now has to do what the feds say in all matters concerning that employee.
A very large customer of mine used to fire 95% of its employees the week of Christmas and give them a severance package that was formerly called a Christmas bonus.
The plant was usually closed for two weeks at that time so it didn't change the production one iota.
What did change was the company would hire them back in mid-January with a tax credit for each "new employee" hired in the year.
Obama — Got to have a win, anything.
How can a small business get a tax credit for hiring new workers when they don’t have enough business for the workforce they currently have. These idiots are typically working at the wrong end of the spectrum as usual. They don’t seem to understand business at all. Any republican that votes for this piece of crap should be voted out.
republican help or rino help?
Exactly - the only ‘jobs’ bill that will work is lower taxes and fewer regulations on businesses, especially small businesses - you know, the ones who actually create jobs.
You’re right...this is just a trap. Dimmies DON’T need Repubs to get ANY of their crap sandwiches passed. Plain and simple. EVERY Repub and McConnell need to hear this from us! Whichever Repubs vote for this are - once again - the spineless wimps they’ve continued to prove themselves to be.
Here are the R’s on the Finance Committee:
Kyl - 202-224-2541 (says he’ll support)
Cornyn - 202-224-2934 (said he’ll support)
Grassby - 202 -224-3744
Hatch - 202-224-5251
Snowe - 202-224-5344 (has at least said she wants to see CBO #’s)
Bunning - 202-224-4343
Crapo- 202-224-6142
Pat Roberts- 202-224-4774
Enzi- 202-224-6244
Ensign- 202-224-3424
Minority leader:
McConnell- 202-224-2541
Let them know we know it’s a trap and that most American’s will back them running away from this 100%!!
Democrats: "No! Now vote yes on this, or you are ANTI-JOBS!!!!"
This is not a “jobs bill,” it is a “stimulus package” by another name. Please tell me that the GOP and Conservatives will not fall for this ploy!
The Senate Republicans are chomping at the bit to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They have hung together for months voting against all the garbage when it meant nothing and they couldn't stop anything. Now that they have the capability of shutting the Democrats down, they will fracture and assist them in passing more waste of our taxpayer money.
I just wrote a note my Senator Cornyn urging him to vote against porkulous 3 labled a “jobs bill”
LLS
NO!
LLS
And we all know how good Reid’s word is in the area of predicting whether legislation will pass or not. /sarc
If the Republican IDIOTS fall for this “stimulus II” as they did “Stimulus I” then it is time to dust off the pitchforks, warm the tar and catch the chickens.
Don’t forget to light the pitchforks! ;0)>
