Speaker Boehner's Adds His Jobs Pitch To Obama's, So Where's The Beef? with Timothy Canova, professor of international economic law and author of The Federal Reserve We Need and the Legacy of the Clinton Bubble
House Speaker John Boehner added his two cents to the pot of job creation plans when he called for a total reform of the tax code, fewer federal regulations and an expansion of infrastructure projects and domestic energy production. Boehner's plan targets the employer side by lowering the corporate tax rate and rolling back environmental and labor regulations. Meanwhile, Obama's plan focuses partially on the employee side of the equation, with payroll tax breaks and extended unemployment insurance, infrastructure projects and aid to the States for Education Jobs. We'll dissect the respective proposals, see the prospects of either plan to put America back to work and comment on Obama's deficit reduction proposals. Are Medicare and Medicaid on the chopping block? ************ Plus The Socialist Bank of North America with Dr. Rozanne Everson Junker, political scientist
