Uh, Mr. President?
Talk about leading with your chin:
Sir, these men already have jobs…. Yes sir, for now. Very true sir.
The president plans to outline his list of ideas for a new jobs bill in a speech from Washington on Tuesday. Among the plans he’s likely to endorse is an expansion of a program that gives people cash incentives to fix up their homes with energy-saving materials, senior administration officials said.
Obama also is leaning toward new incentives, either through the tax code or some other means, for small businesses that hire new workers and toward new spending for building roads, bridges and other infrastructure, said the officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the package, and Obama’s speech, are still being crafted and could change.
The president also is open to a federal infusion of money to cash-strapped state and local governments, considered among the quickest and most effective — though expensive — ways to stem layoffs.
Because that’s worked so well so far, right?
How much longer can we afford to keep this guy around? Can’t he run the UN or the National League or some other useless organization?
