Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
National Edition
Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg
*************
Speaker Boehner’s Adds His Jobs Pitch To Obama’s, So Where’s The Beef?
with
Timothy Canova, professor of international economic law and author of
The Federal Reserve We Need and the Legacy of the Clinton Bubble
House Speaker John Boehner added his two cents to the pot of job creation plans
when he called for a total reform of the tax code, fewer federal regulations and an
expansion of infrastructure projects and domestic energy production. Boehner’s
plan targets the employer side by lowering the corporate tax rate and rolling back
environmental and labor regulations. Meanwhile, Obama’s plan focuses partially
on the employee side of the equation, with payroll tax breaks and extended
unemployment insurance, infrastructure projects and aid to the States for Education
Jobs. We’ll dissect the respective proposals, see the prospects of either plan to
put America back to work and comment on Obama’s deficit reduction proposals to
be submitted to Congress.Are Medicare and Medicaid on the chopping block?

Plus The Socialist Bank of North America
with Dr. Rozanne Everson Junker, political scientist
North Dakota has long had a state bank which unlike private banks has faithfully
served the people and the state in good times and bad. We've talked about a
public option for health care, but why not for banks? Thanks to Michael Moore for
this case study.
