"SNIP..................................

This is a no-brainer, for heaven’s sake, as Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) pointed out:

“Creating close to one million jobs would put a meaningful dent in the unemployment problem. This tax cut is not a cure-all, but it could be a difference-maker for small firms on the fence about adding payroll. After last month’s sluggish jobs numbers, we may be on the verge of a rare moment of agreement on how to help the economy.”

It’s not perfect, obviously, but at least it’s something, which is more than can be said for Republican efforts – of which there have been none.

Of course, now we’re all waiting to hear what the Republican excuse will be for blocking the bill…

1. Since no DEM job bills are getting past GOP, why not call Sen. McConnell on his

accusation that the DEMs are just playing politics, then the DEMs should play some. Let's have a Senate bill to eliminate all Fed income tax on those with net income less than $100 K, in addition to letting Bush cuts expire for those less than $250 K. That would be a good way to increase demand for goods and services -- a true jobs bill.
