Marketwatch reports President  Obama will offer Republicans a new “grand bargain” on taxes and job creation in sn attempt to find some common ground while a bigger deal to reduce the deficit is stalled.  Initial reaction from Capitol Hill Republicans was chilly. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said that the expected proposal is “leaving small businesses and American families behind.”   Obama has dropped his insistence that business-tax reform be coupled with an overhaul of individual taxes. In a speech today, he’ll outline plans for a corporate overhaul, conditioned on investments in jobs programs.
