All these ideas are just that—ideas to be discussed, refined and evaluated. Action on any measures to spur job creation will be worked out with Congress after careful study, and will be done in a fiscally responsible way.

Anybody for a quick fix, like a tax break?

Given the budget deficits this administration inherited, it is critical to leverage scarce public funds.

What BS, the first thing they did was start digging the hole deeper.

Tax break will not work!!! We have over supply and over production. That is just more of digging the hole deeper.

I'm still trying to decide whether my ears were playing tricks on me, but this am on WPTF (AM-680, Raleigh NC) the host interviewed an econ professor from Duke who actually proposed that as the first of three measures he would take, if he were president. The next one was reducing government expense.

I really liked what I heard, but like I say, I'm still trying to decide if I really heard it.

President Obama took office at the height of the worst downturn since the Great Depression.

Hey. The American people voted in the democrats in 2006. Before that, everything was fine. They were in charge of spending ever since - 3 years worth! People got what they voted for.
Maybe next time they'll think twice before pulling that lever for a democrat.

Can't. The democrats have been spending money for 3 years now, and Oboma took our future paychecks, our kids paychecks, and our grandchildrens paychecks. There's nothing left for a tax break.

If they were to eliminate most of the welfare programs, that would get people off their butts to do something.That would be more than motivational, and it would put money back into the pockets of the producers. That's about the only reasonable option left.

Check out the brilliant job creation scheme thought up at Michigan State University.

As near as I can figure we don’t have enough unemployed people in Michigan so we need to bring in more aliens with an agreement to attract foreign investors so the aliens will have jobs.

Jobs Americans aren’t allowed to do?

A little research on CHRISTINA ROMER would alert you to just how dumb she actually is, she at one point was just a normal somewhat rational academic economist, but now has become just another slug in the gut for this economy. Plus she is a fatazz!

I guess one doesn't get much for trillion dollar “stimulus” packages nowadays. We spent less money for our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in 8 years and created more jobs...

Obama and his professional know nothings haven’t a clue about businesses....they are making it worse every time they tinker with the mechanisms....if there if an Off Switch, will someone please hit it?!
