From Rep. Jan Schakowsky. Let's add this to what Obama proposed. And Pass Both Bills!

[Note: this job creation act includes NO new tax incentives. Why? Because the way a real woman creates jobs is by hiring people, not by putting money in somebody else's pocket hoping something good will come of it.]

• Emergency Jobs To Restore The American Dream

•  

Summary

• Emergency jobs will meet critical needs to make American communities stronger.

• Costs $227 billion ($113.5 billion for each of fiscal years 2012 and 2013).

• Fully paid for through separate legislation that creates higher tax brackets for millionaires and billionaires, eliminates subsidies for Big Oil, and loopholes for corporations that ship American jobs overseas.
