Good
We don't have any more money to give to the Unions, PERIOD.
Why don't you pass a Bill that hires the OWS'ers at minimum wage, combined with Welfare folks (if they've been on Welfare for more than 5 years) that requires them to work on those infrastructure jobs to EARN their Welfare Checks (EBT's)?????
“The GOP senators were joined by one Democrat, Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.)”
Heh. Ol’ Benji is working hard to save his bacon before 2012.
The GOP senators were joined by one Democrat, Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.)
Doesn’t that make it bi-partisan?
It would if it were all Dems and 1 Republican voted with them.
I’m beginning to like the Senate Republicans the more backbone they show. Will they keep it up, though?
The Senate RINOs (Maine sisters, Kirk, Brown, etc) didn’t cave, good.
I thought the Democrats had a bigger margin than 2 in the Senate
Isn’t “patching up the nations roads, railways and bridges” code words for passing more money to the unions?
Reid and other socialist Democrats have but one option in their playbooks -- tax and spend. But punishing the successful to reward union thugs and cronies is getting tiresome when there is no money to spend.
The successful entrepreneurs need less burdensome regulations, less government intervention, and lower taxes so they can hire more workers. Herman Cain, leading candidate for POTUS, understands this.
Yea!
Shove it up your mob-connected arse, Harry Reid.
Democrat "operatives" have confirmed to Rush that the "jobs bill" was never intended to pass. It was a sucker job to get Republicans to support it so they could claim "bipartisan support".
However, in a strange turn of events, the Republicans are playing against type and not falling for it. Meanwhile, President "I'm Desperate for You to Love Me Like it Was 2008" Obama keeps up his partisan warfare and trying to blame all of his failures on the Republicans, just like he did Bush until someone finally told him no one was buying it!!
Now, the more he bashes Republicans, the more people tune him out and the more he sinks himself into irrelevancy.
Sometimes, politics can be fun!
