Hate to break it to you Sparky, but the Republicans tried to vote on
the president's jobs bill but the Senate Majority Leader had his
caucus vote to NOT bring the bill up for a vote. The president's
bill has languished in the Senate since the president sent it over.
Since the Democrats have a majority in the Senate, it's a confusing
wonder why they continue to deny a vote or even allow a markup.

Meanwhile, in the House, the president's bill has ONE sponsor and NO
co-sponsors.

The republicans won't vote on anything that raises revenue. You know
little about law making. The right will bring down the country before
they give Obama anything.

#1 I know "little about lawmaking"? Hmm. In my youth, I was an
Administrative Aide to a U.S. Senator. I KNOW how laws are made.

#2 The Republicans have NEVER said they were opposed to increasing revenue.
Their view is that the best way to raise revenue is by cutting taxes. This
technique has worked every time it's been tried.

So when you go into work you will tell your employer that you need a
wage cut bcause it's the only way you can afford to buy that new Aston
Martin you've been eyeing.
that logic says that the unemployed now have more disposable income
than when they were working.
