Jobs bill, infrastructure repair and bank 51-47 Senate vote

[Danzig]

don't misunderstand riot. i have no great love for the reps, i think they're a sorry lot. where you and i differ is that you seem to think the dems are the opposite. i do not. i think they're a sorry lot as well.
both parties might have a good apple somewhere mixed in the usual harvest of wormy, mushy fruit. hard to find them tho, and they seldom get anything accomplished, as party politics come to the fore.

you mentioned in the initial post that it was obstructionist per usual. was it a good bill? a good idea? we have the not-so-super committee working to reduce debt, did this add to it or reduce it? supposedly the republicans wanted to shift unused funds from elsewhere (that exists?!?! unused money, really??). i just feel that most likely there is more to the story. a suggested idea isn't necessarily a good one.

i have been out of the loop the last two weeks, having been out of town for more job training, etc have to play catchup...but i have to assume, knowing the n-s-s committee is 'working' that perhaps no new spending bills will move thru at all til they've announced their suggestions. yeah, i can't wait for that!! ha!
