"At issue last night was a stimulus provision of $35 billion in spending to preserve the jobs of teachers, firefighters and police officers. 100% of the bill was to be paid for by a 0.5% tax increase on those earning over a million dollars per year. It was voted down by all Republicans and failed to get the support of 60 Democrats that would have been needed to give the bill a chance."

It's a good thing Democrats are influenced by the same corruption that Republicans are. It's also a good thing that they don't make a lot of money and try to keep their money like Republicans do.


I sure am glad everything is this clear black and white picture.

Let us see...Democrats proposed a bill taxing one group of people that tend to be republican supporters in order to give that money to another group of people that tend to be democrat supporters.

This is gang politics at its worse. What next, a tax on oil companies to support the solar industry?

"Mitch is busy hiding out. See, last night every single Senate Republican (assisted by two Democrats and a traitor calling himself an “Independent”) filibustered the President’s Jobs Bill for no good reason except that Mitch and his golfing buddies don’t understand why you would want a job. If you really, really wanted one, they figure, as they fly over your foreclosed home with a smirk, you would have one"
