CNN reported today that Jan Schakowsky (D) Illinois will introduce a two-year emergency jobs plan that will create 2.2 million jobs.
Contrary to the Republicans “I WON’T RAISE TAXES” I believe this plan will NOT be at the cost of everyday Americans. Reference link posted below.
It is the “Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream”. The plan would develop: SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT CORPS to rehabilitate public schools.
NEIGHBORHOOD HERO CORPS to hire teachers, firemen and policemen
HEALTH CARE CORPS hiring health care providers including doctors, nurse practioners, physician assistants and nurses expanding health care to access to underserved rural and urban areas.
PARK IMPROVEMENT CORPS for youth between the ages of 16-25 to work on conservation projects on public lands restoring natural, cultural and historic sites, through new funding to the Department of the Interior and Forest Service.
STUDENT JOB CORPS: creating part-time work study jobs for eligible college students through new funding for the Federal Work Study Program.
CHILD CARE CORPS: creating jobs in early childhood care and education through additional funding for Early Head Start.
COMMUNITY CORPS’ to do needed work in communities, including housing rehab, weatherization, recycling, and rural conservation.
The plan would give priority to the longterm unemployed who have exhausted botheir state and federal unemployment benefits.
The cost of the Congress Womans plan would be implemented over a two-year period, financed by separate legislation that she will introduce.
That bill title is FAIRNESS IN TAXACTION ACT which would raise taxes for Americans who earn more than $1 million and $1 billion. It would also eliminate subsidies for big oil companies while closing loopholes for corporations that send American jobs overseas

Additionally a group of very wealthy persons have joined to advocate increasing taxes on the very wealthy. They call themselves “Millionaire Patriots”. Hoping to blog on that tomorrow.
