Obama Jobs Plan: $300 Billion, Half to Tax Cuts

[Glaisne]

For cryin out loud! Enough with the GDF tax cuts! Is that all you got? Is that the damn solution for every single problem? If tax cuts were so great at creating jobs we'd be awash in jobs right now. If all Obama is going to do is offer tepid rehashed failed conservative policies to address our employment and economic problems then there is no reason to vote for him in 2012 no matter how bad the other side is! I am so sick of this shit!

He seems to agree more with him (Grover) than with say Krugman or Reich.

4. Yay more tax cuts, they have worked so well

7. This will not help much at all

Businesses are sitting on over $ 2 TRILLION in profits. Why do they need more tax cuts? This will actually just make the jobs situation worse because the tax revenue could be used to actually HIRE people. Not to mention it will make the balance sheet for Social Security the worse and feed into calls for cutting it.

Apparently we have no hope or chance of turning this economy around no matter who we vote for.
