Potential cuts, according to ideas put forward this year by Republicans within the House Budget Committee, could include canceling stimulus projects for which money hasn't yet been committed, freezing federal salaries temporarily, or hiring only one federal worker for every two who retire."

also you do realize that the rich are the same people who employ us middle class folks? if the govnt takes more of their money to waste it, will those rich people hire more workers?
or do you want all the new jobs to be government jobs? |
It's been proven over and over that rich people generally hoard money and export jobs no matter what, they don't put the extra money back into the system, but that's another debate.
That plan doesn't tell me how they're going to create jobs. It says they're going to trim 2% of the budget (according to them) and bring spending levels back to 2008 (even though Republicans constantly assert that Bush spent way too heavily too) except for a bunch of other stuff.
It's just red meat for people who hate Obama. That's not a plan for fixing the economy.
