But can’t you see?...America needs more highways!!!

Time will tell.

This is basically Reagan-nomics.  Give tax cuts to business in the hope that maybe it leads to a few new jobs.  “Trickle-down” is what it used to be called.  Most Americans correctly call it “Trickle-on” economics.

What’s fascinating is that today Ronald Reagan’s ideas are the proposals from the supposedly socialistic Democrats.  And a Republican is criticized for supporting what Reagan would have done.

I understand the Republicans trying to drive the country to the right.  But, to understand current American politics, you have to recognize the Democrats are also driving the country to the right. 

And that between the two, we are now well to the right of Reagan and communist-socialist-liberals like Richard Nixon are getting very small in the rear-view mirror.

It’s a dumb bill, a giveaway to business.  Employers get the tax break even if they would have hired someone anyway.  And small changes in the cost of labor have little effect on hiring.  That is why there is little or no job loss when the minimum wage is increased.
