I am going to start this post with adding some credibility to the source of this article. For the past year I have been using a site called The Daily Beast to get a bulk of my current event information. It is an extremely diverse blog started by Tina Brown, previously editor of The New Yorker. The blog is composed of articles written by staff writers, and articles gather from various credible news sources. I encourage you to take a look.
With recent numbers from August showing the number of private payrolls increase by 67,000, President Obama is hopeful that new policies he seeks in Ohio and Wisconsin will be successful. The first of these policies includes tax breaks. The President has plans to implement $12 billion in tax breaks, and $30 billion supplied to people who need aid to “free up” credit. The hope is that small businesses will begin to hire more rapidly. However, it is not all breaks, the bill includes a policy to terminate tax breaks for households earning more than $250,000 annually. This is a bill that was rejected last month, and is now on the table for a second time.
In addition, Obama plans to ask Congress to extend research-and-development tax credit and to increase new infrastructure spending. He believes that it is one of the most “efficient and direct ways” to use government intervention to increase payroll. The last part of the bill could include justification for tax rebates that would stimulate the middle-class spending habits.
Obama has big plans for what he wants to accomplish this fall, but it all comes down to how Congress will vote. He is asking for steep actions, with a lot of money at risk. In order to convince Congress to continue spending and increase, Obama has to be confident his policy will work.
