I don't like this idea of corporate welfare at all. The idea of giving money to private businesses with the hope that they will turn around and hire people in exchange is just a variation on the gop's failed policy of trickle down... It failed under Reagan and Obama shouldn't fall for it either
What Obama is proposing is not "trickle down". Its just a cosmetic BS gesture. Trickle-down worked marvelously under Reagan. Real trickle-down goes to increasing demand and lowering the cost of supply. Obama's idea of tax breaks is redistribution. Doesn't work. We got proof all around us.
Obama couldn't shine Reagan's shoes. Or mine.
