Senates "Jobs Bill" plan

The outlook for jobs is looking worse and worse, with the review of the current statistics from various sources of media and job searches. The new release of the unemployment rate is at 10% at this time for Pennsylvania which is in the highest unemployment rate of the united states. In one publishing it goes on to say that approximate 450,000 people a month are being unemployed in the state of Pennsylvania. If this is true how are we ever going to bounce back from this kind of economic brake down? The new “Jobs Bill” that the Senate has produced is a joke, it’s been cut down and will have no looking term effect. The original bill of 85 Billion dollars from Senate plan would not have done much help or good either, given the enormity of the challenge. But now they have cut it down to only 15 Billion dollars this is a joke! The federal government spends that much every two minutes of the day. President Obama’s budget projected that 266 Billion dollars would be needed. So really how can we go from 266 Billion to only 15 Billion. You can thank Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for cutting out various items from what had been a 85 Billion Dollars to a 15 Billion Dollars “Jobs Bill”. “We are going to move to a smaller package,“ he said. Statistics are saying that economy will need to create 2.8 million new jobs over the next two years just to cover all the new workers entering the job market. That would still leave the millions who lost there jobs over that next two year period and from before, still without work. I’m not analyst but, I can see that this country is really in deep trouble. There needs to be some serious changes made soon from are government the Senate and the President. This country can’t with stand another two year period of this unemployment and being laid off. We the people need to stand up and be heard that something needs to done now!

  1. These statistics are unacceptable.The house and senate must come up with a plan to help the small business owners to create jobs.It will be the small businesses that get the country out of this mess we are in.One way to encourage businesses to hire would be to give them an incentive to hire through tax credits and bonuses for taking on new employees.Another way would be to penalize companies who sell foreign made products.I know it costs more to manufacture items in this country and american made things are more expensive but wouldn't it make you feel better spending more to keep our citizens employed?We all agree that something has to happen soon or the situation will get really ugly.I am hoping that they come up with a solution soon.
