The market was so impressed with the jobs proposal that it is down 300 points today.

Not as impressive as last month when the market dropped 200 points while he was giving a speech

owebama prosposed a $450b spending plan with no plan on how to finance it. He takes a vacation, diddles with it for a while and then wants it passed right way because it is so urgent.

The plan is not all tax cuts. The cuts and credits that were proposed are temporary (as all owebama tax cuts are). Temporary cuts and credits are not beneficial to hiring as the incentive to hire is gone after a year but the employee cost is still there.

Other items in the plan such as the extension in unemployment benefits does not create jobs (it will get passed though). The rest of the proposal benefits the usual suspects - owebama supporters - teacher and state unions. There is also yet another mortgage fix & money to renovate homes so we can to the huge inventory of unsold homes.

Every item has had historical bipartisan support...including the infrastructure which most Republicans secretly begged for behind the scenes while preaching to Sean Hannity about how much they hate it. The argument that infrastructure spending does not create jobs more ridiculous than the claim Obama is an illegal immigrant from Kenya...unless you believe Jesus built the Hoover Dam in seven days like the Bible says
