President Obama announced proposals yesterday to help keep the recovery going.

The proposals focus on three areas to stimulate job growth: helping small businesses expand investment, hire workers and access credit; investing in roads, bridges and infrastructure; and creating jobs through energy efficiency and clean energy investments.

The proposals for small business include zero capital gains tax, extension of immediate expensing of up to $250,000 in investments, extension of accelerated depreciation deductions, tax incentives for hiring new employees, and making SBA loans easier to obtain by eliminating fees and raising guarantees.
