I've been laid off for over a year from a job that barely paid my bills. But this great country looks out for its own with unemployment benefits. Those ran out in December and have not been renewed thanks to GOP opposition. They want it "paid for." They want "fiscal responsibility." A PAID FOR bill was proposed and then passed the Senate. It is DOA in the House. John Boehner wants "job creation" measures from the President included.
Yesterday, a news story about a GOP-backed, unpaid for 310 BILLION dollar tax break for billionaire corporations showed up in my news feed. This money could create 5+ MILLION jobs paying $60,000 a year. Instead it's going to add to the bursting bank accounts of CEOs.
ENOUGH.
President Obama, oppose and veto this obscene corporate welfare.
