On the Jobs Bill . .

Likely to be voted on tomorrow in the House, the philosophical differences over just how employment is stimulated are being brought to light by the Jobs Bill. The key question is, can government "create or save" any jobs beyond just GOVERNMENT jobs? Despite evidence to the contrary, the more liberal faction of the Democrat Party (including our own Congressman Cleaver) believes that spending government money (OUR money) creates jobs. And they're upset that this bill doesn't spend ENOUGH.

The other side of the aisle and more conservative Democrats believe that tax cuts stimulate economic growth and thus create JOBS. This approach has worked every time it's tried.

Here's what Rep. Cleaver thinks about it:

"If it’s a tax credit bill instead of a jobs bill, then we will have some hesitation voting for it,”

In other words, if this bill has any chance of WORKING, Rep. Cleaver is against it.
