Obama to Urge $100 Billion Tax Credit for Businesses

Why are we giving businesses another tax credit? Why not give the everyday consumer a break once in awhile? If the government would allow the interest on credit cards and auto loans as a tax deduction again it seems to me that the economy would get a shot in the arm and maybe increase the need for workers .I'm not very smart when it comes to politics,but this seems pretty obvious to me. Thank you.

A business tax cuts to whom??? Companies who outsource or comapnies who stay in the UNITED STATES and provide jobs. Not to say he will do as he says he will, but Business's need to be specific. Buy MADE IN USA Products. POLITICIANS' LIE. YOu have some power. Read the label and REINVEST in AMERICA. Don't support companies who take their jobs elsewhere then expect you to spend your money on their product. This is the POWER you have to change things instead of listening to the lies of politicians to make things better. Do it yourself. Send a message, MADE AND STAYED IN USA.

I remember Democrats saying, "McCain knows nothing about economics". It's obvious that Obama doesn't either...

This administration is lacking in people who understand small business , all they seem to want to do is spend there way into a better economy. History proves this will not work , so why keep trying to repeat history?

Republicans, who mostly represent poor districts, fight for nothing but TAX CUTS FOR RICH PEOPLE who mostly live in democratic districts. This makes no sense.

this guy is stuck in a 1940 mentality, building roads, with 1960 ideologies. He is repeating history and hoping it will have a differant out come. But then agian he know's exactly what he is doing.

I suggest that we bring back the businesses that moved overseas and took our jobs with them. I further suggest that our government stop the tax breaks to those companies. That was idiocy when it happened and it is worse now. People wonder where the jobs went. They went to India and China and other places overseas..And were paid to do so by the big tax breaks.

Why now? Why not 20 months ago? Oh. "Laser focus" on jobs. My foot.

$100 billion for business and $0 for the seniors once again this year. No SS raise. The seniors spend the money when they get it, but business does not necessarily make job just because they get extra bucks. Who said life is fair........

Actually those failed policies belong to both sides of the isle, dating back as far as the JFK days. Now we have this monster of a government that is too fat to change overnight. We need some new blood in DC that is willing to tackle the real problems within our government and give us back our country. You cannot solve problems by throwing money at it. You have to fix the cause.
