President Obama has announced plans for a bus tour of Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois to hear ideas from average folks about how to create jobs (apparently having run out of his own ideas). With apologies because I will be too busy working to show up for his bus tour / photo op, as an average citizen I’ll just share a couple of quick ideas here:
– cut tax rates;
– dump Obamacare;
– slash regulations (particularly environmental ones);
– lower the cost of fuel and electricity;
– slash spending and balance the budget.
Does Mr. Obama really need a bus tour to figure this out? Like so many other things with this presidency, this bus tour is a phony excuse to get out on the campaign trail. It sure beats working.
