I just saw that story on TV. Can you believe that!? A bi-partisan bill that was paid for gets filibustered by Republicans on a bill they half wrote themselves! Unreal.
I see that you missed the part about that being RINOs like McCain who did that deed. They didn't want the Paul addition that called for cutting out money to Libya, Egypt, and Pakistan to go through. The filibuster by the minority was not against the bill but against an amendment.
But, but, but, it's the President's responsibility to create jobs and fix the economy!
Let's just admit that it is not his job other than to suggest legislation which he seldom does since Obamacare. Hell he didn't even get much of it written since Harry and his union buddies did that.
How stupid people can be to see a bill that has the word "jobs" in it and automatically believe it will create jobs. We live in a country of so many stupid people.
Kinda like the Patriot Act or Affordable Care Act. How could anyone be against patriotism or affordable healthcare. Of course, the first was not patriotic and the second not affordable.
Back down in Florida for the weekend, and the local press (which is very conservative) have shown many veterans here who are PISSED about Republicans doing this.

All the while I thought the insurance companies wrote it.
"would hire veterans as firefighters and police officers and for conservation jobs in national parks and on other public lands, through grants to federal departments and agencies and contracts with state and local governments and private organizations."
Sounds like a Veteran feel good Bill.
With what money ? Congress can't force local governments to hire. Local governments are all having budget problems and are laying off.
