Obama Jobs Plan Unlikely to Create Many

Broad gulf of politics, economic philosophies separates president, Congress

In addition, says Morici, the need to offset the costs of such stimulus could negate some of the intended effects. "If you have to pay for it with savings in other places, the job creation effects will be very tiny. If you create an investment tax credit or hiring tax incentive, you lay off workers. My feeling is that, on a net basis, these programs will not generate very many jobs."

Before any of that can be seen, however, Congress would have to pass the president's proposals.

Born in CA. You sure make a lot of assumptions, just because I don't believe in your MINORITY opinion about birthers, you think I am, unpatriotic, (I was born to a Lt. Col. in the Marine Corps, I bet I've been to more parades than you ever will), White (which is true, but completely irrevelant), that somehow I hate America (completely untrue - I did't call you un-American, just wrong on the facts), insecure (I'm not, I feel very secure thank you), umemployed (again not true),I'm embarrassed to be an American (again untrue). So it doesn't surprise me you are so wrong on facts when you have extrapolated all these untrue things about me based on nothing. My friend, what you don't understand is, good and smart people can disagree. What you have is an opinion and in a Democracy as wonderful as ours is, you can have an opinion, but what it doesn't mean is your fringe minority opinion doesn't mean you get to rule the country. I'm a moderate. It's you people on the fringes (Left and Right) that somehow think your minority opinions should rule. The people on the fringe are the problem. You're so stuck and uncompromising, nothing will ever get done.

By the way, Obama is not a Muslim or a Communist. (You really have drunk the kool-aid haven't you?)

I do apologize for calling you an idiot. You're just mis-informed. I can tell you love your country. I do too.

Here's aother shocker for you, I didn't even vote for Obama. So before you make all your judgements without any facts, think again.

Now, let's talk about something real, like the debt.

To BOBBAROONI! If anyone on this planet is an idiot ... it's YOU!! It is because of white MORONS like you, that psychologically feel so guilty about what your ancestors did or did not do probably influenced how you voted in 2008. So for your insecurity and wanting to be patted on the back for whom you voted for, thousands of IDIOTS like you, who are probably out of work, rather than voting for experience, and hopefully for the betterment of all Americans and the U.S., probably believed all the snake oil speeches and how Obama was going to change America ... probably voted for this Communist/Muslim that's in our White House. For certain America is not perfect, but at least here we can still protest, express our views regardless of how important a person is, and we still have the right to vote. What's wrong with America, is people like you who are always looking to put America down! Rather than being proud of what America has accomplished as a melting pot for the world in the last 300 years, you're embarrassed for what it has achieved. You should be proud to be an American, but I doubt it, because you behave as if you have no experience in the game of politics or in life. Have you been to other countries as I have where I have witnessed citizens starving in the streets, adults alongside of children in rags with their hands outstretched begging for scraps of food or coins thrown at them, as if they were animals. Have you seen families side by side at nighttime sleeping in the streets under canopies while rats circled them looking for food or whatever they can eat? Bobbarooni, you should thank God that you live in America, where you can still vote, protest, and achieve your highest goals depending on your own abilties. Not through discrimination on you or who your ancestors were, or who your associated with. Next time before you vote, LISTEN CAREFULLY to the words spoken in speeches, investigate the incumbents record, and then make your choice as to who you feel will be the best person to represent America and its people, regardless of color! SEE YA!!!

Born in CA. You're an idiot. Even Donald Trump is satisfied. No facts will ever penetrate your arrogance. You alone know, and all the other "birthers" (how many are there now? Ten?) know what the rest of the world cannot figure out. I recognize these "facts". They come from disreputable sources. Open your eyes, look around and stop reading that junk and start paying attention to valid issues, not made up ones.
