Dodd-Frank bill is a joke and needs to be repealed.
You Dems had control for two years and not only did you do little to help the economy (still above 8% unemployment and on verge of another recession) nothing was done to address anything you mentioned, as well as plenty of other important things that couldve been addressed to help the economy and our future.

Senate Republicans blocked legislation Wednesday that would have established a $1 billion jobs program putting veterans back to work tending to the country's federal lands and bolstering local police and fire departments. Democrats fell two votes shy of the 60-vote majority needed to waive the objection, forcing the legislation back to committee.
The method Republicans have used to block all jobs legislation in the past two years is the same. A jobs bill comes up, it is filled with positive things for the economy, Republicans filibuster debate, this shields them from having to make floor speeches on why they don't want tax breaks for small businesses... etc.
Some of the other jobs bills blocked by republicans:
Quote:
The Bring Jobs Home Act
The bill was called the, "Bring Jobs Home Act." It would have provided a 20% tax break for the costs of moving jobs back to the U.S. It removes tax deductions for the business expenses of jobs moving overseas.

The Payroll Tax Cut Renewal
This tax cut reaches 160 million people and stimulates demand by leaving money in consumers hands. Watch the GOP refuse to allow Democrats to propose compromises on the measure. Economists call this one of the most stimulative possible approaches for increasing jobs in the economy.
1) Oil subsidies arent subsidies at all, but normal business costs, such as deducting employee costs prior to taxes, thats something ALL businesses do because businesses pay taxes on NET profit, not gross..
2) You cant be serious because thats a Democratic stronghold
3) which I disagree with
4) Um, Obamacare did that, again, Democrats..
5) Actually resulted in taking money from the banks, to the taxpayers because it was PROFITABLE to the taxpayers to bail them out. No, I didnt agree with it, but that doesnt mean taxes went to bankers
We know, we know, we have been hearing this excuse being made for the last three and a half years now.
We know that one of the excuses made by liberals to defend 0bama, is that suddenly, no president can ever be expected to get any legislation done unless they have a 65% majority control in both houses of congress.
No one can be this ignorant, ok, we have Obama as president, so maybe I'm wrong..
Tell me how does a veteran get a job if not by taking it from someone else? Clearly they should be allowed to do so, but do you really think businesses need an incentive to lay off person A, so they can hire a veteran to get a tax credit?
Come on man, think..
not a DAM job gets created by this crap. Simply putting "jobs" in the title, doesnt mean its a jobs creator..
