now would be a great time for Dems to introduce a comprehensive JOBS BILL. what are the odds?

a jobs bill coordinated between senate and house dems and obama. a big splash, a big PR stink, with the intent of getting it passed or damning the obstructionist republicans. what are the odds this will happen?

Good idea or forget about it?

And it should be comprehensive. I doubt they have been working on something like that or there would've been leaks.

So I suspect the ball was dropped. The timing here would've been perfect.

1) there probably won't be enough agreement for adequate funding and 2) the Republicans will kill it in the House.

Otherwise, why in the Hell wouldn't they be submitting job bills one after the other to prove once and for all that repugs are nothing but obstructionists who don't give a shit about this country?
