This piece of crap isn’t a jobs bill, it’s porkulus 3.
As is typical for liberals - even with a job bill that will cost the taxpayers ZERO, the libs want to spend more imaginary future tax money (our grandchildren and great grandchildren get to pay the tab).
This is so very immoral - And I firmly believe, unconstitutional.
I don’t like this, but at least they killed health care, cap n tax, and card check. 3 out of 4 aint bad...
This is a rather small bill and will allow the repubs to end Dear Reader’s bs about being the party of no...
Looks like the Dems and the Pubs are up to their old tricks!
Anyone who votes for anything more than a tax cut, find a new job!!!NO DEBT EVER AGAIN!!!
He also pledged the same re: Cap and Tax; and 0bamaCare.
Voters need to contact their congressmen and impress upon them that "WE DON"T WANT IT!!!"
If pencil neck Cantor and the boys support this, we must throw them out of office.
This bill has to be killed the state of ca does not need a bailout, starve the beast. Let the Patriot act die I am not a terrorist, enforce the damn immigration laws so that no one can sneak into the country especially terrorist,profile just do not invade my privacy you incompetent idiots.
The Progressive’s RINO’s Republicans will help their fellow socialist progressive democrats whenever they can.
ANY republican that votes for this bill needs to be targeted when they run for re-election in 2010 or 2012.
Bipartisan? Really? maybe that’s why it only costs $104 billion instead of the usual $1 trillion trend we’ve been seeing over the past year. besides, this isn’t a Job creation bill. Most of it is directed to unemployment benefits.
It appears the title is a bit misleading.
From Boortz today:
So the Senate has been working on this mystery jobs bill. While we have yet to see a final version, Harry Reid wants the Senate to vote on this thing ASAP. It ain’t gonna happen. We are talking about spending another $85 billion that we don’t have. So I am in no hurry to rush this puppy along without knowing a little more about it.
Here’s what we do know. It’s called the “Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act.” I just love these phony little feel-good names that politicians of all stripes give to their little bills. Only this one isn’t little. We do know some of the provisions .. try these on for size and see if you can imagine that these goodies will encourage small businessmen to get out there and start hiring folks.
A payroll tax credit for businesses to hire and retain persons who have been unemployed for at least 60 days. (If a person has been unemployed for more than 60 days, is that the person you really want to hire? How about someone who managed to keep a job through all of this and only recently became unemployed.)
Extensions for unemployment benefits. (Already small businesses are suffering under increased unemployment insurance costs. This is the result of continuous extensions of benefits. As long as you pay some of these people they’ll continue to sit on their asses.)
Extensions for the 65% Cobra health insurance subsidy. (More costs for small businesses. Way to go, Democrats)
Extension for stimulus programs: the Build America Bonds program and a small business loan guarantee. (A loan guarantee sounds like a way for the taxpayers to incur even more liabilities when businesses fail under the weight of Democrat tax increases.)
Extension on federal funding for highways.
Extensions on low-income housing credits. (Oh great. Just what we need. Let’s ruin more neighborhoods with Section 8 deadbeats.)
Extensions on spending programs for energy, disaster relief. (Government spending and temporary, not permanent jobs creation)
Extensions of Medicare payment programs. (This creates jobs how?)
A tax to raise revenue from foreign-held assets and trusts. (Ahhhh. Another tax. And, again, this increases jobs how?)
What is the predominant word you notice here? “Extensions.” This is just another way of saying “more of the same.” Is this really what is going to turn the tide of this economy? More spending, more taxes, more government.

If the Republicans vote FOR it... they will lose all support from the Tea Partiers and others that want to get control of spending.
If the Republicans vote AGAINST it... the Democrats in November will say Republicans voted against the jobs bill and high unemployment is thus their fault.
We need to call this turd what it is, Porkulous 3, and vote against it. Don't let the democrats get away with calling it a JOBS bill.
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.
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?
