Bush faces daunting task in restoring lost jobs
Manufacturing recovery plan to be unveiled Monday


For example, the administration will continue pushing for changes in the pension funding rules, which many companies, especially old-line manufacturers, say have become burdensome.

The White House also wants Congress to approve tax credits to help individuals buy health insurance policies, a change that would help some manufacturers reduce health-care costs.

It wants to impose limits on legal judgments, especially from class-action and asbestos liability suits, to help manufacturers control litigation and insurance costs.

Finally, the administration will continue trying to persuade China to change its currency policy. Meeting recently in Beijing with Chinese officials, Treasury Secretary John Snow argued that the yuan’s low, fixed value against the dollar gives China an unfair export edge. But Snow returned to the United States with only a promise of a future liberalization of exchange rates.



Please vote in the poll. Do you think the plan will be effective? Currently it's 83 - yes; 403 - no.

This dare-I-call-him-a man, has systematically weakened this nation and brought misery to millions worldwide. We all need to work hard and find some way to eliminate the brainless plans of this spoiled rich brat and his buddies. Narcissictic, grandiose...talk about a major personality disorder!!!!

I pray our votes count: http://www.deanforamerica.com
