Obama's urgent jobs plan: Right now, 'right now' means sometime next month maybe (Congress, Durbin)

[Dockside]

So where is that jobs bill?

From the LA Times - Well, here we are on the next Monday after that next Monday and we've just learned from the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, Dick Durbin, that actually it seems that body won't really be seriously getting into the legislation for a while yet. The Senate has some other more important business to handle. And then there's this month's congressional vacation, which in Washington is called "a recess," like elementary school.

Another vacation? How much you want to bet Obama doesn't even have a "Jobs Bill"?

But he is about to submit a bill to raise taxes - Mr. Obama will call for $1.5 trillion in tax increases, primarily on the wealthy, through a combination of closing loopholes and limiting the amount that high earners can deduct.

All of which goes a long way toward proving his true feelings. In his arrogance, he cares nothing for those he is supposed to represent, all he wants is to raise taxes and force the federal government into every aspect of the citizens life.
