It contains four main elements, as described by Democrats:

1) reduce the cost to employers who hire new employees with a tax break for any employer who hires an employee who has been out of work for at least 60 days;

2) enhance the write-off that small businesses can take for purchases of certain equipment, freeing up capital to grow and hire workers;

3) expand the Build America Bonds model by making it available to existing Tax Credit Bonds, which provides the bond holder with a federal tax credit in lieu of interest; and

4) extend the surface transportation programs (SAFETEA-LU) through the end of the year.
