He hasn’t and won’t do anything possitive for the economy or the nation as a whole. This is just more stall and spin while things continue to deteriorate.
Evil bastard.
Yup. This will require trillions of tax (or borrowed) dollars for new “investments” and stimulus spending for shovel (leaning) jobs. Hold on to your shorts.

I think he’s got an updated version in mind to help “rebuild” America.
This September or next September?
Yeah right, just as soon as our “black clown” comes in from vacation.
Stole that from Rick Perry, sorta.
Uh, shouldn't that be, "the failed policies of the past"?
“Infrastructure spending”, isn’t that the same as “Shovel ready”?
Creating jobs and getting the U.S. economy needs only a few things that should be able to be done with relative ease.
1. Cut regulations, gut the runaway agencies and repeal the idiocy of the past twenty years.
That would probably mean at least 20,000 - 30,000 (200,000?) regulations off the backs of business, mostly small business who provide the majority of jobs.
Cut the Fed. payroll, unless it’s truly a security issue (printing money, military, FBI, etc., privatize it and save TRILLIONS!
2. Domestic energy production, go at it like we mean it, with early NASA style research intensity.
Get the regulations lightened up to merely inconvenient rather than impossible, then private money would pursue it, subsidize it if that’s really what it takes.
Every dollar we spend would save us more in the long run, and reduce funding to the worlds zealots who want to destroy us.
Get gas under $1.50 a gallon, get rid of the “Fuel Surcharges” on shipping of goods.
Lower energy cost get the priet of goods down, wages begin to cover expenses again.
3. Cut the corporate tax rate to a cap of 12%.
At the current 35% international business cannot return profit back to the U.S., they are forced to use EVERY loop-hole to reduce their burden to about 20% or less and they have tons of cash trapped offshore.
A 12% cap would reverse the trend for every corporate office to flee the U.S., we would actually attract other countries headquarters to set up here!
but first.........A VACATION!!!!
Let’s see. (1) Revenue Enhancement; (2) Funnel lots of money to unions; (3) Funnel lots of money to community organizers.
“”infrastructure spending”?”
It’s not spending, it’s an investment! So it doesn’t count against the deficit.
All of this is just to string the idiots along; long enough for them to really get a chokehold on the country. We are being overthrown and this is a dog and pony show to keep the masses ‘thinking’ that ‘something’ is being done.
But first things first. My bimonthly vacation!
