Yet again, the GOP kill a jobs bill, reinforcing the intent to squash any jobs Obama can take credit for.

This is the bet that republicans have made. They are literally rooting for unemployment to stay high and economic growth to stay low. Why? Because they don’t give a damn about my job or your job, they only care about one person’s job. Guess whose job that is?

Yesterday Senate Republicans successfully filibustered a $60 billion infrastructure spending package. This marks the third time in less than a month that Republicans have filibustered legislation that is completely paid for and designed to create jobs.

The $447 billion package of tax cuts and new spending failed by a vote of 50 to 48, short of the 60 votes it needed to advance in the 100-member Senate.
