The much heralded Obama jobs plan is going nowhere fast. It’s long on fluff and sound bites but terribly short on meaningful change. The White House doesn’t understand that the environment for job growth demands permanent repair, not short term policies that change in a year or so. Business needs a stable environment in which to grow. Business leaders, unlike the political class, know that planning is critical to success. Temporary breaks and improvements do not allow for long term planning and development.

Tom Donohue at the Journal has a fine piece on the shortcomings of the Obama plan. It’s worth your time.

The United States Department of Justice, the supposed legal watchdog for all Americans is not watching for all but for a selected class of victims.
