F6, I'm tired of saying it so will let Reid say it this time ..
"Before the Senate voted, Majority Leader Harry Reid accused Republicans -- who are trying to take control of the Senate and White House in 2012 -- of attempting to hamper the economy for political benefit. He said Republicans are opposing job-creation ideas they supported in previous years.
“Republicans oppose those ideas now because they have a proven track record of creating jobs, and Republicans think if the economy improves it might help President Obama,” said Reid, a Nevada Democrat. “So they root for the economy to fail, and oppose every effort to improve it.”"
If the Democrats can't enable enough Americans to see the termites for what they are then so be it. Shame on the GOP.
