Citing the "national mood" of anxiety about unemployment,
Atlantic Media Group political director Ron Brownstein said on “Meet The Press” that a job stimulus package is on the White House's horizon. "There is discussion about a job creating--a, a tax credit for people who create jobs. The problem is it's expensive to do that in a meaningful way. And the next area of the debate will be if we go down the road of trying to create a jobs incentive tax credit, do you take the money away from already allocated dollars for the stimulus or do you simply make the deficit larger?" Brownstein added that while a decision is not imminent, "they're beginning to discuss this."
