The Stimulus has helped bring our unemployment to 10%,maybe it’s time we try a new appoach
To get America back to work,the tax-and-regulatory obstacles from Washington must be removed.
After the arrival of a disappointing December jobs report,my thought on putting America back to work is simple:de-stimulate. That’s right. Get rid of the Obama stimulus monster,including the government takeover of health care,cap-and-trade,and all this nonsensical talk of creating green jobs. Get rid of the increase in marginal personal tax rates and capital-gains tax rates. Get rid of the payroll tax hike from the health-care talks. Get rid of the spending that is a counterweight to growth. Get rid of it,every part of it. It’s creating so much uncertainty that even profitable businesses are afraid to hire new workers and expand.
It’s like business is on hold as it waits for the next Washington shoe to fall.
Check this out. On Friday,the day of the sub-par jobs release,President Obama comes out with a new green-jobs program that will cost taxpayers $2.3 billion. He predicts targeted tax credits for all of his faddish “energy savers” — presumably determined by hoards of EPA bureaucrats — will create 17,000 new jobs. This is out of a total workforce of 153 million.
And wait,it gets better. The average cost of these alleged new green jobs will be $135,000 per job. It’s sorta like the $780 billion stimulus plan,half of which has supposedly saved 1 million jobs at roughly $200,000 per job.
MAYBE IT'S TIME WE ENFORCED OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS. CURRENTLY 8 MILLIONS JOBS ARE OCCUPIED BY ILLEGAL ALIENS. THOSE JOBS SHOULD OCCUPIED BY LAW ABIDING US CITIZENS WHO ARE DESPERATELY SEEKING WORK.
If we cant get rid of prez soon the whole USA is going to look like that pic of all the people stand in a bread line ….. we need ACTION!!!

Get on the list folks!
I couldn't agree more with Kudlow. So much of this horrendous expense is based on the Environmentalist inspired,totally wrong doctrine,man caused global warming. This has not been proved because its proponents have nothing to submit to a jury of their peers in true scientific fashion. The idea has been supported by false propaganda designed to scare the pants off an uninformed public. It has gained the attention of politicians and investors to reap billions from taxing the masses and the building of new hardware for the production of so called clean electricity on a crash basis,an impossibility. without
The Dems and Obama have wooed the middle class with promises of no new taxes and a new source of jobs –green jobs,but if these jobs were profitable and sustainable without govt. subsidy,they would already exist. Actually the middle class is under attack. Radical statists are working to eliminate the middle class altogether and take us back to feudalism,a system in which the few-elites- rule the many-the peasants.
