The President's Bold Jobs Bill (Maybe)

Great advice as always.



Not holding my breath for the President to even propose half that list, though.



My prediction is that we'll end up with nothing more than free trade agreements that create jobs in the other countries involved in the agreement and some weak, highly-scr­ipted show-boati­ng from the President.



But it's going to take a lot more than a staged, re-electio­n-centered drama to dissipate the humiliatin­g stench of three years begging republican­s for their approval and giving in to their every demand. Or at least it SHOULD take more than a drama to win liberals and independen­ts back.



Some people might even start to believe that he really believes in a jobs bill, which as stated, would be good politics. And whereas doing something at the 11th hour is better than not doing anything, the only economists disagreein­g with the need for a jobs program are working for the republican­s or on the staff in the White House.



So somehow I doubt that he'd be contemplat­ing this action at all if his approval numbers were in the upper 40s or higher. Pardon me for being cynical, but I can't help but feel the whole drama they're whipping up is cynical in its own right ('let's just give these firebagger­s what they want, what could it hurt at this point?')..­. and 2 years late.
