ECONOMISTS?!? BUSINESSMEN? At a JOBS SUMMIT?!?

Quelle drôle d'idée!

The CGI background is very distracting. I don't care if she is being recorded from a dead black background, hell, put masses of pjtv logos behind her. Let her record in her garage. Don't care but lose the photoshopiness.

There is a virtual psychosis on the left that somehow business (which creates most jobs) is evil but a monolithic governmant that employs everyone is somehow good. It is insane.

The 8 percent payroll tax increase will put my company out of business. It would cost more than my companies yearly free cash flow.

My company has 4500 hospitality employees that will looking for work in the next year. Any one who says this won't have a negative impact simply needs to visit Wisconsin and tour the 122 restaurant we will be closing.

Ms.Furchtgott-Roth explains so simply, clearly and calmly -- that's a great quality. Thank you both for a very informative discussion.

The Statist way has so miserably failed over and over in so many countries -- what is it that our "government" wants? This is such madness.

Clearly lowering taxes would help the situation -- it's worked over and over.

Yet the Statists use ridicule and are laughing at us all the way to our destruction.

Let's hope and pray November 2010 will not be too late to turn things around.

Uncertainty must be playing a big role in why employers don't hire. A rational decision made today might become the very wrong decision tomorrow if the Administration changes the rules.

It seems kind of silly to demand that employers and business take risks while the President and his subordinates seem to change things at will. It does not take a lot of surprise changes to make people fearful of WHAT ELSE might be sprung on them in the months to come.

Good information, but this was the wrong interviewee...She comes across as a blue blood with that ridiculous accent. To really reach the common worker / voter having a plain speaking Representative who you would want to sit down and have a beer with is a lot better sell. And yes sell should be important to the Republican party in this day and age of political marketing.

One thought that just hit me was:
Why not roll back the minimum wage? People who were currently hired would keep the same wage and businesses would be more inclined to hire people at this wage. It would likely lower the unemployment rate or slow the increase. Only problem is that it only favors 10 states as the other states have laws that are equal or greater than the current federal, it would be upto the states at that point though. So each state can decide the validity of doing such a thing.
Oh, right, there would be democrat opposition anyway, oy.

Oh and the greatest thing about this idea is: costs pretty much nothing to the government. No tax cuts, no tax hikes, just adjustment of regulations that shouldnt have been allowed to continue in a recession regardless.

Actually, it increases revenue to the government (by generating payroll taxes) and cuts spending (by getting people off of unemployment, or at least cutting back).
