Show me a better job creator than reversing our horrible "Free" Trade policies.
Job creation will determine the outcome of November's elections.

Whichever candidate has a better job creation message will likely win their election.

Job creation ideas can help our candidates win.

What could possibly create more jobs then bringing back our outsourced jobs and ending the scam known as 'Free Trade'.

Please educate yourself on Fair Trade and how it can save our economy.
I'll be doing an OP on what Fair Trade means very soon.

5. Well, I figured that they were a given.
Any civilized society will reward the rich with more riches, just for being rich, right?

4. Direct no/low-interest loans to small business and start-ups.
Empty the corporate welfare trough that the SBA is today by replacing or re-purpose the SBA to do what it was ostensibly intended to do.

Withdrawal from the whole alphabet soup of agreements and organizations would obviously be beneficial, but the loans would create more jobs faster.

10. Obama has talked about low interest SB loans but needs to push congress to act.
Zero interest loans for very small business would be a great job maker.

Low interest loans would certainly spur fast job creation that would also pay immediate dividends with increased economic activity and those jobs adding to the tax base. No doubt, we have to get Americans working again and fast. Unemployment and the cost of funding it is a major expense but also very vital.

Giving SB access to cash is a great job creator. Why the Dems haven't done this already is beyond me.

6. how about this idea?
how about not allowing any government expenditures (federal, state or local)
to companies which produce the good or service overseas.

reducing the deductibility of corporate expenses incurred overseas compared to the same expenses incurred domestically ought to add additional incentives to spend US moneys in the US

7. You mean what could go wrong with protectionism?
The $2.5T in foreign owned US production for a start.

Our huge export markets for another.

The massive inflation that would be driven by paying US wages for low value high labor content goods production for another.
