Richard D. Parsons, Chairman of Citigroup and Member of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness Backs American Jobs Act
The President's proposed combination of personal and business tax relief, targeted spending to support infrastructure, and aid to states offers several direct and innovative ways of creating jobs and bolstering our economy. The President's focus on assisting small business is spot on, since small business is the engine of job creation.
