President Obama said in his weekly address that American businesses should increase their hiring and spending but did not say that the government would do anything meaningful to either stimulate the economy or cut the huge federal deficit which will almost certainly cause government spending reductions or higher taxes over the next decade–(kicking the can down the road)
But businesses have a responsibility, too. If we make America the best place to do business, businesses should make their mark in America. They should set up shop here, and hire our workers, and pay decent wages, and invest in the future of this nation. That’s their obligation
How has the White House done anything to make the US a better place to do business? Give substantial benefits for the addition of new workers? Force China to revalue the yuan to make trade with the People’s Republic more reasonable?
