National Journal's Under the Influence

EARLYBIRD

Monday, February 22, 2010 8:45 AM

From this morning's Earlybird:

• "Unions and liberal groups have dismissed Sen. Harry Reid's $15 billion jobs bill as 'puny' while calling for larger stimulus measures," The Hill reports. "More than two dozen organizations, including the AFL-CIO," the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "and the National Council of La Raza, warned Democratic leaders in Congress to avoid tackling the troubled economy through incremental action."

• "When President Obama announced last year a plan to have the federal government assume direct control of all student loans, Sallie Mae, the large student lender, moved quickly to step up its lobbying game," Roll Call (subscription) reports. "Fearful that the administration's plans could dramatically reduce its operations, the company sought some well-connected help, including the lobbying firm Podesta Group, and Jamie Gorelick, a partner at Wilmer, Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr -- and a deputy attorney general during the Clinton years."

• "As Toyota braces this week for its first round of congressional hearings, the automaker and its affiliates have assembled a formidable lobbying force to build support on Capitol Hill and leverage longstanding relationships with key lawmakers," the Washington Post reports.

• "Toyota estimated that it saved $100 million by negotiating with regulators for a limited recall of 2007 Toyota Camry and Lexus ES models for sudden acceleration, the same problem that has since prompted it to recall millions of cars, documents turned over to a Congressional committee showed Sunday," the New York Times reports.

We have been needing this job bill for a long time. There is so many people out there that do not have a job. This bill will definitely generate some jobs in the future. We need to push this.

$15 billion may seem puny but the unions have to understand we are in the worst recession of the last 80 years.  It's impossible to keep throwwing money at the problem. I run a small <a href="http://puppypottytrainingtips.org/how-to-potty-train-a-puppy/">how to potty train a puppy</a> business and I get no funding.  Sometimes business and jobs should stand on their own to feet.  The fact that we have not is what got us in to this mess in the first place.

I think we should have more jobs for the people that need them. Its sad to see the federal government shipping in foreigners when American citizens need jobs. Hopefully this will change in the future. Thanks Amanda Miller Cheap Health Insurance Manager
