I know how to get the Republicans on board with Obama's jobs plan.

[Qutzupalotl]

Just name it the Ronald Reagan Jobs Act. :evilgrin:

Half of them will vote for it without reading it.

1. Which is not to say it has to include firing striking workers

or anything Reagan actually did.

[tblue]

2. Oh yeah!!! Good idea!!!

Call your Congresscritter and suggest it.

3. I've got another idea

Introduce his plan and then tell everybody he opposes it. It will certainly confuse most people but the Republicans will DEMAND that it become law!

4. LOL

:rofl:

5. or include a lapdance and a free drink.

6. The targeted jobs tax credits

in Reagan's 1981 tax bill were worth emulating, however.

I see that it is speculated that the President will call for extending the 100% write-off of purchased business assets for another year (as opposed to only allowing depreciation deductions for a number of years). What if this were extended solely and only for items with 75% US-made content?

I wouldn't mind it a bit if Reagan's investment tax credit idea were extended with that caveat.

7. That sounds good.

I'm not against everything that happened under his administration. After all, he had a Democratic congress.

8. Nah. Just announce the White House has decided it doesn't support it anymore.

Republicans will fall all over themselves to pass it then.

9. Name it: America, Fuck Yeah! Act and introduce it on 9/11! nt

10. LOVE IT

[1StrongBlackMan]

11. Yeah, but ...

could you tolerate all the "I knew he was a secret (or not so secret) republican" posts here?

[Qutzupalotl]

12. Well, I barely can now,

so maybe it would be worth it.
