First let me congratulate you on your victory over MYSELF and Senator McCain in the presidential election.,i feel that i received so few votes due to my firm belief in the Constitution of the United States of America.,my mistake  we/of/for,. the people.,don't appear to give a dam about this freedom sustaining document 
I see that your economic stimulus package appears to be a bit.,ummmm.,let's just say awkward,as far as creating jobs .,may i offer my assistance in some ideas that may enhance your package of stimuli.,? 
just a few things here that might improve the "bipartisanship" process of job creation,.
cut the capital gains tax in half.(but not all at once)10% immediately
bring back corporations to our nation by reducing their tax by 75%.,more if they increase their workforce by 20%
provide more funding to the small business administration as to aid people starting a new business.,show them how.,and help them overcome hurdles to exporting of their goods and services to other countries...
create an immediate impact now by giving all businesses a tax break provided they increase their workforce by an appropriately proportioned percentage..
people need to have money to buy these things.,cut their taxes as well,.
these are just a few ideas that might help the "left" and the "right" meet in the middle somewhere.,
if you have any questions about any of these ideas.,feel free to contact me at "matchdoctor.com".,i promise i wont let you down Mr. President
Muppet

Much of what is in this package should have already been budgeted elsewhere. This is an attempt to get things paid for by taxes we were not suppose to be paying or at least he promised not to raise our taxes. It's been said that much of the bill won't stimulate the economy so why is it we are paying for old bills that have already been presented and didn't pass? Like the golf courses, tennis courts, dog runs? Give me a break run your dog down the sidewalk he he needs exercise don't take my tax money. How many of us can even afford to play golf or tennis now, especially if you don't have a job? Sure don't raise taxes, but put into play a huge "ah hm stimulis" bill to cover all the loose ends the Government wants paid for, and try to sell it to us, that it helps us, let us pay extra for it that way. I do have to say, they did warn us that our taxes were going to be raised, but no one wanted to believe it, now here is the change. Lost

Corporation Tax is way too high, 'tis true. And only 30 percent of it ever gets collected, due to loopholes and offshoring. Corp Tax should be reduced by about 60 percent, but not until all loopholes have been closed. Thus there'd be higher tax revenues from lower tax rates.

it is easy to give your opinions as to what you think on how the economy needs to be run.
But were you you 7 years ago when the Bush Admiistration was de regulating and letting CEO's run wild.
He took a government surplus and turned it into a RECESSION. So were were you?
Now is this from the fact that your canidate lost the election??
Or is it due to the fact you know nothing about how the economy works?
Or is this due to the fact that you are a Die Hard Republican
Or is this the fact that you are a bioget and racist?
There are some serious issues here.
Please return your stimuls check to the government, since you are against it.

I understand the mythology behind tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts...but there are a few things that fall apart for me in the mythology...
Corporations aren't cutting millions of jobs simply because of the cost of employing people. They're cutting jobs because of 1.) lack of access to capital, and 2.) lack of demand.
Lack of access to capital is because banks are still holding billions and billions of dollars of 'toxic' assets...i.e., homes that no one knows how low the price will go below the mortgaged value of the home. How do tax cuts affect this fundamental problem? I was in a big lumberyard business the other day speaking with the owner, whose business is down over 80% from just a year ago. A family firm, employing almost 100 people...tax cuts won't affect he, or the housing industry around him, one iota. He's already laid off 80% of his employees, and he is wondering if he will be able to pull this 65 yr family legacy through.
Holding tons of toxic assets, banks aren't loaning to companies to cover payroll, or assume inventory, or do much of anything except expecting payment on old debt. As a result, companies are forced to cut back staff to pay for the old debt and maintain some semblance of credit worthiness. What's a tax break do for no operating capital??
With millions of jobs lost here, and millions more around the planet, people are in a hunkered down mode. In deep recessions, the psychology of the market is to hold your money, because you don't know when you might lose your job. At the pace we're going, there is a lot of justification in the media for sitting tight, as 70,000 people in a day lost their jobs. What is the tax cut that fundamentally shifts the psychology of a nation, and a planet who fears that at any moment, they're gonna wave good bye to family/household stability?
What tax cut shifts people from being in a 'save and pay down their debt' mode, to suddenly returning to being empty mindless consumers of 'stuff?'
I understand the mythology of tax cuts. But it was the Congressional Budget Office, underneath a Republican held Congress, that said the Bush tax cuts of 2001 for the higher brackets and corp, were responsible for the rapid escalation of the deficit that began piling up so high by his mid-term. Why would these tax cuts create something fundamentally new, something fundamentally better? Now, there's no false, under-regulated market in housing to hide the incapacity of a whacked out economy built on selling you more 'stuff.'
I wonder when we're gonna quit thinking we know our way out of hell, when we've never been in this hell before? In the Depression, as a nation, we lost nerve. In this recession, as a globe we've lost it. When does mythology quit ruling our conversations for change, one way or the other?

Seems a shame that the ones who least understand or want to understand what's really going on here love to attack the messenger.
All the "due to the fact" statements just show ignorance of "the facts".

But were you you 7 years ago when the Bush Admiistration was de regulating and letting CEO's run wild.
(don't blame me for the grammatical errors.... I copied the quote as posted.)
Uh...... the de-regulation started during the Clinton administration.
Back in 2003... Spurred by worries that Fannie and Freddie were cooking their books and taking too many risks, Treasury Secretary John Snow proposed placing the companies under Treasury oversight with strict controls over risk and capital reserves. (Which is exactly what the Gov ended up doing in 2008, btw.
Frank's response to the proposal
"These two entities—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—are not facing any kind of financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
Have you ever noticed when people have NO clue what the facts are, they turn to name calling......
Or is this the fact that you are a bioget and racist?

Good blog,
Im still wondering myself how this stimulus helps create jobs... millions for a golf course.. Harley davidsons for the police.. and a staggering ammount for STD research.. HUH?
And the fact that he gave his ideas to Nancy who has run wild with it I think the spotlight should be a little more on her.

It does'nt.
But then again, your talking to a people who allowed 850 billion to the same banks that got them in this mess.
And now 827 billion for a feeding frenzy of government programs.
P.T. Barnum was correct.."There's a sucker born every day'.
By the way, I have a Jeep Cherokee behind the barn; 200,000 miles and the engine blown only once..give ya a good deal.

How about removing capital gains tax completely for 2 years, and cut corporate taxes in half. That is the ONLY way our economy will get rolling again. This so-called "stimulus package" is obama's way of using this recession to further his socialist agenda of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. It will NOTHING to get the economy rolling again!
