President Obama’s jobs bill is just what liberals like me have been clamoring for. It will put people to work, end tax certain undeserving tax breaks, hire teachers, and help rebuild the nation’s roads and bridges. It contains various components, and Republicans would like to pick it apart. If it is split into pieces, we will see Congress attack regulations and federal spending and oppose ending tax loopholes.
Obama’s plan, if passed and implemented, could create between 1.3 and 1.9 million jobs. This is why we elect Democrats.
So what does Pennsylvania’s Senator Casey want to do? He supports splitting Obama’s bill. He thinks the bill is too big. I’m pretty sure he thinks compromise and a go-slow approach will help him in 2012. It won’t. It will make Democrats angry and will not garner him Republican votes.
Voters admire political leaders who stand for something. Come on, Senator Casey. Man up.
This is what happens when you have Rush Limbaugh and Grover Norquist in control of the Republican party. That is why education is so important. The Republican party knows that and the reason why some Republicans are cutting spending on education. An uninformed electorate is their biggest asset. Rise up people!
ReplyDeleteI understand that the Pennsylvania Governor and legislature wants to change the way electoral votes are cast in the Presidential election. This needs to be stopped now! Write your congressman and Senators and tell them how you feel.
Personally I would like to see the Electoral college down away with and use the popular vote to determine the winner. If given the chance the republicans would love to see the 17th amendment overturned. It's all about the power and they want all of it. They want the ability to dictate to the American people. I for one don't want to be a serf, do you?
