I wanted to post this because I trust the president and I believe he will do what he says. The way I understand it, we will find out next week how the bill will be paid for. So please don't jump to conclusions and give him a chance. However, I have to say that I have never seen anything wrong with wealthier citizens and corporations being asked to pay a little more. Most especially corporations!!!
This is what President Obama said about it today:
"
The American Jobs Act is not going to add to the debt -- its fully paid for. I want to repeat that. It is fully paid for. Its not going to add a dime to the deficit. Next week, Im laying out my plan not only to pay for this jobs bill but also to bring down the deficit further. Its a plan that lives by the same rules that families do: Weve got to cut out things that we cant afford to do in order to afford the things that we really need. Its a plan that says everybody -- i
ncluding the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations -- have to pay their fair share".
