The White House Jobs Summit

A few weeks ago I wrote in my blog a letter to the President expressing interest in the Jobs Summit he was holding today. I was respectful in suggesting that if he really cared about jobs that he would continue the Bush tax cuts, stop spending any more of the stimulus money, cut the capital gains taxes and above all, delay at the least, the trillion dollar health care reform bill.

Well he has shown absolutely no indication of taking my advise. After all, what do I know. I do know this. Today's meeting will have the president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), along with the presidents of the United Steel Workers and the Teachers Union and of course his biggest donors and the usual suspects like, Ron Bloom (Car Czar), Rahn Emanuel, David Axelrod, Valarie Jarrett and Larry Summers. What are conspicuously missing are small business owners, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Federation of Independent Businesses and of course opponents of his stimulus spending. Why not invite these folks? After all, small business accounts for 80% of all private sector jobs and the biggest supporter of small business is the Chamber of Commerce.

There is a very strong message coming out of the White House today. They want the public to believe they are really doing something while actually promoting more size and power of the government. This is really about MoveOn.org, ACORN, the unions and more big government. Most of the public will listen to the lame stream media and believe this horse manure.
