These are tax credits and they don’t justify more Government spending!

Someone needs to send all the Republicans ‘Economics in one Lesson’ by Henry Hazlet.

Haven’t heard from her in a couple weeks-I figure he’s probably settled. From what little I knew him years ago, and what his sister says, he’s seems the type to take the first offer.

Exactly Jo...putting off hiring until this passes. At $1000. a head if a compnay was (past tense) going to hire the’ll likely hold out for couple months...ten employees would give them $10,000 at end of the year, if they stay a year, so they’ll also be careful to get as much a commitment as possible.

Am wondering though if the unemployed couldn’t use this to their favor...if the company would consider hiring them they’ll stay a year and so they’ll qualify that employer for a $1, ooo. Might put them ahead of the pack of those considered for hire within the company. hummmm Plus they’ll get a 6.2% tax break on social security...for hiring them which these begin immediately.

Misappropriating assets/capital to try and keep a popped bubble afloat. The more they do this, the harder the fall.

Hey, let’s pretend that govt. spending can create jobs, and “invest” in another “jobs bill,” even though we have hundreds of billions left unspent in the other stimulus that didn’t work.

Let's look at this with common sense eye balls. If a tax break for new hires will create jobs, then why not cut taxes across the board for businesses? They are admitting, with this one particular part of the bill, that tax "breaks" might make businesses hire more people, because it frees up money with which to hire them and they are too stupid to acknowledge this.

The frickin' lefties are so full of sh** they can't see 2 inches in front of them.

BTW, the Republicans who voted for this(I think 13 in all)had better be warned that their jobs are on the line and I hope the RINO bas***** are thrown out of office.

Who the hell is going to HIRE for BUILDING that isn’t going to happen? No one is going to build buildings, hence NO CONSTRUCTION JOBS. THIS is more money in the toilet.

The Bill hasn’t passed yet. Brown stated he reserves the right to vote against it if ANYTHING in the form of pork and deals in included in the final bill.

He is becoming a dissapointment.

The “jobs bill” is MORE GOVERNMENT JOBS.

This is why he was voted in office to STOP this crap.

[Stars&StripesNE]

The guy has cast two votes and he's becoming a disappointment? He voted against Craig Becker.... no kudos for that?

Amazing!
