Study: Obama’s Jobs Bill Could Be Paid For By Proposed Tax on Millionaires 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



In economic news, a new study by the Congressional Budget Office has
found President Obama's jobs bill could be fully paid for by a proposed
new tax on millionaires. The study said a proposed 5.6 percent surtax on
millionaires would raise nearly $453 billion over 10 years, more than
enough to pay for the $447 billion jobs bill.
