Jobs bill, infrastructure repair and bank 51-47 Senate vote

[Danzig]

from todays paper:

'After Republicans blocked Obama's infrastructure plan, the president's Democratic allies immediately refused, on a 53-47 vote, to advance a Republican plan to extend federal highway, public transportation and surface transportation programs for two years, ease some environmental rules and give Congress more oversight of agency rule making. It would have been paid for by rescinding $40 billion in unspent funds appropriated for other domestic programs.'




yep, it's all the republicans fault. yepyepyep.
