The American Jobs Act

Dont worry, your not that wealthy I dont think, so sure, we will put the money we would give you in your cold dead hands.[/quote:10cnxwxd]

I have far too much money put away for education and future investment to share with drug dealers and whores. Suck maaaaa dick.

And 50,000 x 280,000 is ~$14,000,000,000 saved.
I may have done the math a bit wrong and put in or forgot to put in a few 0s. iPod calculator isn't 100% secure.

Anyway, it saves money because money is scarce.

Turns out when your sitting on a pile on money and there's lots of cheap, unemployed, educated labor along with an environment where you can easilly set up more locations, you want to expand. The problem is the labor is not cheap, nor is our government eager to let up on regulation.

If it is true that 56% of the bill is tax cuts then I say it is incredibly disingenuous to call it The American Jobs Act, I propose calling it the More Tax Cuts Because Cutting Government Revenue Is Great In Dealing With A Deficit Act. Brevity isn't my strong point.

I watched a few seconds of the video before the stupid made me leave. The tax cuts are for small business's, not big business like last time.

I'm glad your getting your economics and political news from a person who probably hasn't taken a single course in either.

1) Most of the tax cuts are for small bussiness, as Tito said. So even if your against one for the multi-national corporations, these aren't the same.
2) He's saying Free Trade is bad for some reason. What? It just bogols the mind why you would think that Free Trade with an economicly weak country like Panama would hurt America. Sure it *might* be a problem for Panamanian companies, but for American ones it's a new market.
3) He's against spending cuts, obviously he hasn't seen the defecit.

I do agree though, these tax breaks are out of place. If our economy was doing better I would be all for them, but we need tax increases to eliminate the defecit and trim down the debt before we can consider them. Austarity measures, if you want to call them that.

1. Obviously its because it costs money to have them, if we didn't have your wisdom i'm not sure if i'd remember to breathe.

2. Karakoran.... do you really think your already retarded populace needs to lose 280,000 teachers? Let's just make the whole nation less educated I'm sure that will help in the long run with our economic crisis

Businesses expand to MEET DEMAND. Extra money makes it easier for a business to expand, but they wont expand if there's not enough demand. Supply and Demand is the primary factor in ANY businesses expansion by a large margin.

I'd rather have people rich, happy, and stupid than poor, angry, and intellegent. Not to mention if we don't make any cuts like this we're going to end up going broke and having them forced on us later, so we might as well do it now.

How about instead of cutting teachers we cut our massive fucking military? We don't need 12 aircraft carriers!

Why don't they just enact conscription? That will end unemployment really quickly.

Because the government cant afford the military as it is?

I'm all for cutting the bloated US military.

No, we need a powerful navy/air force, such is the way you win a modern war. We do not, however, need such a large land army stationed in America. Cutting things like the National Guard would do nicely. However, I would rather not lose America's grip on everything.

I say we need to jump start the economy and than fix the deficit. Either way it' going to be really painful

What we need is better intelligence and better gear for our military. The better out things are, the less of them we need.

Fair enough with your links and logic, but we really need to priorterize here and the odds of us actually need to call on the National Guard for anything requiring, say, the latest weopanry, are slim to none. In other words, all sectors of the military should sustain some cuts, but the National Guard, as well as the army as you mentioned, are both places we could cut without to much of a backlash.

because letting foreign nations operate without American interference is horrible obviously.

So Republicans killed the jobs bill. Its never been more apparent than now that the GOP only represents the 1% wealthy Americans and Corporations, and nobody else. They can't even hide it with double talk. This is how the Democrats will win the election in 2012. Obama has them where he wants them, and they cannot do anything about it except crumble. He's found the Achilles heel that may destroy the party. The republicans cannot keep rejecting bills that a majority supports without some serious backlash. It would take a COLOSSAL fuck-up on the Democrats part to lose now.
