September 08, 2010

NPR told its listeners that they are this morning in its top of the hour news segment. It described President Obama’s proposal to allow businesses to have 100 percent expensing of new investment as a “jobs program.” In fact, the vast majority of the investment that will qualify for this credit would have taken place in any case. 

I am petitioning NPR to have my plan for tax cuts to Dean Baker labeled as a jobs program.
