@jeffmonc2 not a stimulus... more like tax reform. creating a tax code without the loops holes will create a ton of revenue for the us... the tax breaks would only be for companies that hire new people... etc... this means cuts for companies that help get money the american rev stream. it is something to help over time, and get stronger over time. many finance analysis say it is a great plan.

Stimulus 2 that didnt work act. You cant incentivize companies to hire employees they dont need, by promising them SOME of their money back!!!

Return consumer confidence remove Obama 2012!

I think congress must include E-VERIFY NATIONWIDE with any approval of THE AMERICAN JOB ACT, to make sure that any new job will go to American citizens and legal immigrants. And let's see Presiden obama try to justify not including e-verify , during these hard economical times for the nation. After all, isn't it called "The American Job Act", then let's make sure the jobs will go to Americans.

@bigmartin3000 You cannot trust neither. If someone is going to punch or cheat you, either left or right hand they will punch you.There is no benefit in feeding a snake milk and bananas because the snake will never be satisfied. On the contrary, by taking milk and bananas the snake simply becomes more poisonous. If a snake is given milk to drink, its poison simply increases.

@trulyunquestionable If we bring the troops home they will still have their jobs and will spend money here in the USA not overseas! Where do you think the 450 billion dollars is going to come from? The tax payer is broke, the country is broke, we need to compete with countries like China. I don't believe hand outs which are bail outs have helped pay down the debt. The money tree has been chopped down....end the Feds and giving 3 billion a year to Israel when Americans are hungry is not OK!

[jeffmonc2]

Sounds like stimulus to me. Didn't work last time, and Oblamo want to try it again. He lies about money constantly. The money is coming from the middle class one way or the other.

[TheNova1960]

400 billion dollars coming from the tax payer? Where is he making the cuts to pay for this "act"? No mention of cutting foreign aid, ending the Feds, bringing troops home, and defending our borders! Why do we need a "Super Congress" when we have a Congress? Come on...this is nutz! We are in debt and he is digging for 400 billion dollars so we can all work for the government? And, who will get those government contracts? Not the small business owner....blah, blah, blah....

Never trust politicians and women!

I think the reporters here believe Obama...I thought that prudent people had him figured out by now...I guess the reporters are not prudes.
