What would the economy be like today had this jobs bill been passed in 09? Isn't this a better jobs bill than the first stimulus? It puts more emphasis on infrastructure than the first stimulus. Most seem to agree that this greater emphasis on infrastructure repair will generate jobs.
You need to lay off the propaganda for a bit. First off the democrats have 53 senators and you need 60 to pass a bill, hardly a full proof majority. Secondly a majority of the senate voted for it, but just not a majority of 60%
There was no vote on the bill. Only a vote in the Senate, which failed.
Maybe this is a bill that should have gotten passed?
Who wrote the bill? When did either house of Congress debate it at all? What is the proper method of writing and passing bills in Congress?
The thing about this one is the clip floating around that shows Obama talking to his Jobs Commission (not a government group) about going around Congress to get these things done. No matter how many people want the wealthy to support this kind of law the way it was written and ordered passed makes me wholly against it. The Man didn't want it debated and that was why Dirty Harry tried his trick the other day. If it was debated in Congress it would be torn apart so he couldn't allow any debate.
This whole damned thing is maybe the worst example of his imperial actions of the entire administration.
^ This... Another Obama Spending spree that goes nowhere.
Oh it surely does go somewhere. It goes farther down the road of the complete destruction of the Congress and our Constitution.
