Here is Mish's comments on Nouriel's latest ideas in Response to Nouriel Roubini on "America Needs a Payroll Tax Cut" Mish also gives a great email from the president of a small corporation adding his comments too. Now this is worth Tweeting, Mr Roubini:
Dear Mish: I agree with your analysis of the statements by Roubini re: payroll taxes. As a business owner with four employees, I’d welcome them; however, such breaks would not entice me to hire another employee. Have a good day.Here is Mish's response which is exactly right:
I am quite certain that sentiment represents the vast majority of small business owners. The one thing small business owners need is customers.

But hey, who cares if the economy goes to hell. After all, scoring political points is far more important!Catch more of Mike "Mish" Shedlock
