Jobs smobs. Gotta have a vacation first don't ya know. At least dirty harry has it on the calendar unlike all the job legislation the house has passed. What a pack of tools.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said the Senate would focus on a number of “related issues” to the $400 billion job-creation legislation this week. But he quickly noted on CNN that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has placed the massive jobs bill “on the calendar.”

The Senate is slated to be in recess Sept. 26-30, returning for legislative business on Oct. 3."

Durbin: Senate likely won

Webb decries Obama's plan to raise taxes for jobs bill

Quote:
Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., did not mince words last week when Politico asked him about President Barack Obama's plans to pay for his jobs plan by raising taxes on the wealthy and on corporations.

"Terrible," Webb said. "We shouldn't increase taxes on ordinary income. … There are other ways to get there."
