President Obama
President Obama’s jobs speech before the congress left me reeling.  The economy is stalled because there is a profound lack of confidence in the ability of the economy to recover under more regulation, higher taxes and higher cost of health care.  Hiring workers for a tax credit will not happen if there is no work for them to do.  And you can’t buy a new employee for $5,000.   Pay their fair share means tax increases on the producers which are always passed along to the consumer. Trade agreements have not been held up by congress but by the White House.  He talks well but does the opposite.  Employers can’t win the race to the top with shakles on their feet  The only thing that will work, and has worked in the past, is an overall tax reduction, especially on businesses, repealing the high cost of Obamacare, and cutting spending  which will restore the confidence of the population that a recovery can happen.  The president’s jobs program will  not do that.
