Jobs bill

[LCP]

Anybody have any insight or thoughts on what is likely to happen?

Client is ready to hire but doesn't want to mess up any credits or other incentives.

Has options to hire family, former employees or brand new ones....... again, he is holding to see what the brilliant minds in Washington come up with.

Anybody willing to speculate yet?

At the speed of government. I'm curious to see if there are any provesions to keep company's from firing people and hiring new ones just to get the tax benefit.

Net Gain

Think most of the proposals have included provisions for an employer to have a net gain in employees and to hire those that have been unemployed for a certain length of time. I try not to pay attention to details until both houses vote.

That's the problem with the government using tax policy to tinker with the economy. They move too slow and fail to respond to market forces. Their actions distort the economy and cause people to make business decisions for non-business reasons.

Agreed.

I haven't been employed for ten years. I'm thinking of incorporating and hiring myself.

I can see them requiring the unemployment agency to certify a worker has been officially "unemployed" ....... not because its the smart thing to do...... principally to create more government jobs.

This is the problem. No one knows what these (ok, Ill be nice) "folks" are going to do next so the economy is in grid lock. If they would all simply take the rest of the year off, we would have an economic boom!
