- WOW!!!!!! A 25% increase in the size of the jobs package since yesterday. By the time he makes his speach tonight it will be $500 billion. He has no plan. We will hear the same BS as we've heard for the past 2 1/2 years. He will blame the republicians and Bush for our problems but he had a majority in both houses his 1st 2 years and still didn't get the job done. He is a one and done president.

- Infrastructure and school construction (IF it even happens, this time) = Davis-Bacon = union jobs = direct and indirect contributions to Obama's re-election. Hire more teachers = more $$ and help from the N.E.A. Half of this "plan" is just a scheme to borrow more money on the public's credit card and launder it into Democrat campaign coffers.

- Goodness.
I've just read a bunch of the comments. I had to scroll up to the top of the page to confirm I was at CBS. It seems I am, and that bodes very poorly for Obama. - Reply to this comment
- Come on, the system is fine. In New York the unemployment benefit is $405/week. That's equal to $10.53/hour for not working, I wonder why someone on unemployment would turn down a job for $12/hr? Oh, wait, on employment there's no witholding, no SS deduct, so it's worth about $15-16 per hour....um $16/hr is $32,000 per year....for not working. Yep, this all makes total sense.

- A $400 billion "stimulus" will accomplish what the $800 billion one has not, right?

- Payroll tax cut: Reduction in the amount to Social Security is a detriment to the long term solvency of the program and is a minor benefit to people who are still employed. It does nothing for job creation.
Unemployment Benefits: Almost two years is not enough? Historically the benefit has been six months before Obama.
Infrastructure Spending: Construction jobs are temporary. Federal construction jobs are full of waste and corruption.
Billions for more Teachers and First Responders: One shot for more government employees and the states have to pick up the tab next year or the jobs fade away.
This entire plan seems to revolve around spending enough money to prop up Obama through November 2012. That's it. Nothing long term about it except the increased debt to the taxpayer. - Reply to this comment

- Since tonight we hear Obama's jobs plan and it includes $50 billion for unemployment benefits then I can only assume that Obama considers unemployment a job.

- "President Obama's plan will combine new tax cuts and spending measures."
Bla, bla, bla. Increase spending. Bla, bla, bla. New tax cuts. Yea, right. Like I trust this guy to do this.
The guy doesn't have a clue. WE'RE BROKE!!!!!
This is 400 billion tax-payer dollars to fund the unions, welfare and unemployed so they will vote for him. Why spend hard-earned Democrat Party dollars for the campaign when they can spend tax-payer, printing-press dollars to do the same thing?
EVER! - Reply to this comment
