Jobs, please.

In Obama's State of the Union address, he made a lot of promises about rebuilding this economy and making jobs. I was nervous that this might be another empty promise, but it seems that it isn't the case. The Democrats don't have a bill, but they have an agenda for putting something through.

The Democrats' agenda includes: Renewing existing highway legislation for a year, which is expected to result in one million jobs, Reid said. Also, enacting small business and job creation tax credits. And extending Build America Bonds, a stimulus measure that helps states and municipalities fund capital construction projects.

I think that unemployment taxes have been hitting businesses hard, so it's fortunate that we may see job creation credits. I think the most logical way to go about fixing unemployment is for the government to create jobs. Sure, we will have to spend money for that, but more jobs mean citizens spending more, so in the long run it's a great thing.
