Really, a tax cut for hiring long term unemployed? When few pay taxes including small businesses, you can strike this off as a fake to the left. And then there is 5 billion for work opportunities for the low income individuals. I wonder if this includes the folks at Wendy's and WalMart who have to work two and three jobs to make ends meet while grandma takes care of the kids. Are we sure we want to spend the whole five billion there? It looks like they are taking care of the problem themselves! I am pretty certain that 5 will not cover the cost of those currently underemployed let alone the unemployed.

What is it with the payroll tax cuts? Do folks not know that this a business tax cut to social security? As a small business owner I find this totally mind blowing. First they raid the 401 K's and then Wall Street and the mutual funds followed closely by the devaluation of homes and business real estate. Now.....social security, the last life ring in the pond is being dismantled under the guise of a jobs plan.

As I see it this is a gift to the corps with a topping of infrastructure financing. If Ohio is like any other state, these funds too will go to one or two large corps that do all of the infrastructure work.

Don't want to seem down in the mouth but there really is not much to talk about here. No wonder the TV was so enamored with the terror threat from unsubstantiated sources. At least there were some bones to chew!
