Businesses can't pick up the tab. Most of them are struggling to break even. Because customers don't have jobs, they can't buy. Because business don't have customers, they can't create jobs. The more government and banks take in fees and taxes, the less businesses and customers have to work with. The so called jobless recovery is only a recovery for government and financial institutions. It is still receding for the rest of us.

Until business has funds to hire there will be no real recovery. Real tax cuts, while increasing the Federal debt, and forcing reductions in programs would be more directly beneficial than the stimulus packages. Such reductions appear to happen only when people are forced to near revolt as the governing leaders are busy maintaining their status.
