-- President Obama and most Republicans agree that they want to keep college loan rates low but they can't agree.
On how to fund the six billion dollar cost.
Clint Greenleaf is the CEO Greenleaf book group and he is totally opposed to -- down plan.
Don't basically plant in tax S corporations to pay for this six billion dollar one year extension is that fair to small business.
Oh it's not fair at all it's -- absolutely absurd -- wanna take money at a small business to give to the government.
To give the colleges and universities on behalf of the students who can get degrees that are gonna do a damn -- -- good for the students.
To go back to the companies trying to jobs the companies don't have any money to hire because they pay the government the first place for this crazy plan.
Even got too many college graduates out there do we not need to be supporting our college graduates right now -- I mean I love college graduates and they're great people but if they don't have a good skill set they're going to be occupying -- cutting Parkinson have actually getting real jobs I mean you know we keep putting out these.
And the apology fine arts drama sociology majors we're not gonna get any real value for -- that all the energy in time they're putting in Ford now the six billion dollar cost us one year extension to me like antennas are going India they all agree that this needs to happen but at the same time.
The problem is the cost six billion dollar -- There's been some other options put on the table.
Maybe go to the health care fund may be you know look look at different ways in the tax -- to bring the money enemy what would you -- but wasn't to put this tax.
On small businesses.
-- I would still say we should not be subsidizing this and we're talking about 3.4 percent for student loan rates that's lessen the cut -- freedom going -- and getting a home right now.
Kind of absurd in my mind that we've been supporting this but if so.
Yet we should totally -- up obamacare is that money that we never should have been spending in the first place anyway -- -- out of there than small business.
We shouldn't spending this at all.
-- let me talk to you about the overall job appreciation because again.
And the thinking is here that the -- college graduates you have the more job creation but it is small businesses that are doing the job creation.
It will take -- take this issue aside what do you think needs to happen for small business right now.
To hire and the country to grow in the country right now.
The one thing that we all need is certainty.
I I can live with just about any sort of horrible tax plan that anybody puts out -- but I need to know what the plan is.
And have some kind of faith or belief that is actually gonna last for a long enough period of time.
That I can plan my business accordingly right now I've no idea what's gonna happen with taxes with the election.
With all all the hiring rules -- could be changing is just too many options as.
Gotta say -- -- -- professional service companies but with three are less professionals and in the very specific and our planet dams are but here they're targets.
Lawyers not -- we all like lowers I don't know.
Doctors accountants.
Sports company's financial management companies -- final thought is that fair.
No it's on it's it's Willie Sutton already it's going after where the money is.
-- the problem is those people can hire a lot of people not a silly college grads they can hire people what's -- punish them let's help them -- what make more money for all of us.
