WHY STIMULUS II IS A BAD IDEA - OPTIONS: Obama Seeks to End Tax Breaks to Pay for Jobs Plan - WSJ.com

Obama Seeks to End Tax Breaks to Pay for Jobs Plan - WSJ.com

Let's hope the Republicans balk at this squandering of resources to support public unions, etc.

Let's also hope the Republicans can come up with a gutsy alternative.

Now a serious stimulus would be to hold up on ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank and have them have to be re-voted on by a subsequent Congress. Also, to cut the corporate income tax and show a serious effort to control entitlement costs (i.e. 18-19% of GDP cap) so investors would know their taxes aren't going to go through the roof.

Also, Art Laffer had a good idea for enterprise zones in poor neighborhoods.

These would be serious attempts to make the business climate in America more job-friendly.

Obama's plan is Stimulus II and we all know how unsuccessful Stimulus I was.
