Jobs are Us

With all the news about jobs lately, it’s about time that the congress does something about it. I was glad to hear that the house passed a bill today that will address the issue. A 217-201 vote decided that $35 billion dollars will be allocated to give tax incentives to employers who hire new workers.

There are still many debates about the bill as some feel it does too little while others feel it is unnecessary. The bill will move back to the senate for a vote before it is sent to the President. Another part of the bill dedicates money to federal highway programs until the end of the year.
