Conyers Introduces Deficit Neutral Full Employment and Training Bill

I say piggy back HR589 to this bill and we could have a real winner here.

I really like the idea of the Wall st tax, something tells me the GOP wont like it at all though.

I don't see this bill anywhere. It's immediately going to get shot down by Republicans. They don't like the idea of taxing Wall Street ... that's their bread and water.

Finally a bill that makes sense. I support it, great idea. Too, bad it was not passed two years ago!

It would be nice if it passed but it won't get by the Republicans. They won't allow a new tax on Wall Street. They already think that banks are taxed too much, as it is:

I have to agree with kemcha in regards to this bill having about a snowballs chance in hell of ever passing. The GOP is going to hate the idea of taxing the hand that feeds them. Yes TR,where was this bill 2 or even 3 yrs ago? Many of us have been screaming this sort of idea for years....it makes sense and is a win win for the Country. There are so many good ideas being put forth on how to get this country going again,but they will all go up in smoke as the criminals in Washington continue their scorched earth programs. God help us,for the politicians have kicked us to the weeds like road kill.

This bill should have been introduced when they held that super majority. Matter of fact, they should also have passed an extended version of Tier 5, lasting for an entire year, while they had control of Congress. Now, we're all stuck dealing with the ineffectiveness of Congress to help the very people they are supposed to be representing.

Wall Street supported Obama and the Dems far more than the Repubs http://gothamist.com/2010/02/08/wall_st_b_slaps_obama_donates_to_re.php Point of fact Goldman Sachs has always been one of the Dems largest donors besides Unions http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/10/goldman-sachs-political-contributions_n_712370.html hmm isn’t that telling. Only now have they decided to go Repub after years of Dem funding and considering what’s happened over the last 4 years I’d hardly start pointing fingers at the Repubs without pointing them first at the Dems so let’s get the facts straight. The Repubs don't like taxes because that’s the problem. You can't keep using taxes to pay for everything you need; cut waste, fraud and frivolous programs before you ever start raising taxes. That’s our problem we need to quit thinking that way. We need to be responsible with the public’s money instead of thinking we will just take more of it. An addict recovers by not using, not by just always getting more to abuse. Once they have cut everything then they should raise taxes to pay off the debt; it's not the government’s money to spend.
