Bill, you're WAY off base about jobs creation. Bush is TRYING to produce 600,000 new jobs by next year. As I've said, if he succeeds, it will cost the Treasury $500,000 per job. What a bargain huh?
Though direct investments, incentives to businesses to hire and not fire and direct involvement in trying to keep good US jobs in the US, the cost of these new jobs would be tiny for the government, maybe $5,000 per job created or retained, instead of the whopping $500,000 in trickle-down spending and tax cuts the Bushies think is such a great idea.
BTW: Trickle-down obviously doesn't work because with all the tax cuts for the rich, Bush has still lost us 3 million jobs, and growing. As for telling consumers to go out and buy, not easy when the average Bush tax cut is only $110 for a middleclass family, AND they're in danger is losing their jobs and health benefits. |
