Re: Holy Sh*t!
Yes ATW, I've heard that one too. Can't recall the name, but I think they were doing it thanks to schwarzenegger's tax credits in California.
Oh, and by the way, you are quoting the wrong web site...
There is a new one.
Change.gov
Here:
AND PLEASE DON'T DISCUSS IF IT WILL HAPPEN OR HOW TO PAY FOR IT, JUST THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES:
Improve Transition Assistance: To help all workers adapt to a rapidly changing economy, Obama and Biden will update the existing system of Trade Adjustment Assistance by extending it to service industries, creating flexible education accounts to help workers retrain, and providing retraining assistance for workers in sectors of the economy vulnerable to dislocation before they lose their jobs.
What it means: Education and Training companies will be in demand. Teach factory workers how to use the internet, for example. Computers 101.
Reward Companies that Support American Workers: Barack Obama introduced the Patriot Employer Act of 2007 with Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) to reward companies that create good jobs with good benefits for American workers. The legislation would provide a tax credit to companies that maintain or increase the number of full-time workers in America relative to those outside the US; maintain their corporate headquarters in America if it has ever been in America; pay decent wages; prepare workers for retirement; provide health insurance; and support employees who serve in the military.
What it means: Lets say your company needs to hire three employees. Hire an employee in a cheap labor country (India, China for example) and then hire two in here. Now you qualify for the tax credit and you still get the three employees you needed anyway.
Invest In A Clean Energy Economy And Create 5 Million New Green Jobs: Obama and Biden will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid. The plan will also invest in America's highly-skilled manufacturing workforce and manufacturing centers to ensure that American workers have the skills and tools they need to pioneer the first wave of green technologies that will be in high demand throughout the world.
What it means: More opportunities for companies that provide training.
Create New Job Training Programs for Clean Technologies: The Obama-Biden plan will increase funding for federal workforce training programs and direct these programs to incorporate green technologies training, such as advanced manufacturing and weatherization training, into their efforts to help Americans find and retain stable, high-paying jobs. Obama and Biden will also create an energy-focused youth jobs program to invest in disconnected and disadvantaged youth.
What it means: More training needed. Government will pay for it.
Boost the Renewable Energy Sector and Create New Jobs: The Obama-Biden plan will create new federal policies, and expand existing ones, that have been proven to create new American jobs. Obama and Biden will create a federal Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) that will require 25 percent of American electricity be derived from renewable sources by 2025, which has the potential to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs on its own. Obama and Biden will also extend the Production Tax Credit, a credit used successfully by American farmers and investors to increase renewable energy production and create new local jobs.
What it means: Solar and Wind.
Deploy Next-Generation Broadband: Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe we can get broadband to every community in America through a combination of reform of the Universal Service Fund, better use of the nation's wireless spectrum, promotion of next-generation facilities, technologies and applications, and new tax and loan incentives.
What it means: More training needed so people can use. More Help Desk and companies that setup wireless for technically-challenged users, paid with tax credits and loan incentives.
Expand High-Quality Afterschool Opportunities: Obama and Biden will double funding for the main federal support for afterschool programs, the 21st Century Learning Centers program, to serve a million more children. Obama and Biden will include measures to maximize performance and effectiveness across grantees nationwide.
What it means: Opportunities for small businesses to provide this programs and get paid by the government, not the users.
SO YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD.
I don't know if they are right/wrong. if they will succeed or fail. I do know that the government will create tax loopholes, give tax credits, and incentive some of these. Are we going to complain or are we gonna take these opportunities and run with them?
Again, if you can see, I'm not talking politics, I am talking how the policies can be profitable.
