President Obama told about 130 business leaders and union officials that while many ideas emerged at the jobs summit, he lacks the money for a broad federal plan. He urged private sector action in weatherization, small business incentives, regulatory relief, and tax credits for new hires, adding that infrastructure spending is not a quick fix. He plans to detail preferred ideas next week as critics argue for costly public works.

Ideas to Create Jobs From Summit Proposals
Small groups at the jobs summit proposed ideas to spur employment. They include a national infrastructure bank funded publicly and privately, GPS based air traffic controls, mandating banks lend 10 percent to small firms, retraining in math and science tech jobs, and tax changes to favor equipment spending and domestic investment. The plan also calls for incentives for R D, a rolling two year payroll tax credit for new hires, more aid to governments, one million low wage public jobs to fix streets parks and schools, using bailout funds for small business support, and financing energy efficient building upgrades.
