See? That's what "carrying water" looks like.
I've seen the American Jobs Act. Boiled down: almost half a trillion dollars in new taxes over the next ten years, with most of that money funneled to union workers in several fields. With the usual cuts for the Party, of course.
Have you noticed how much of Obama's campaign revolves around "this is what I could have done if I didn't have political opposition?" A lot of people think he never intended this bill as anything except a way to blame Republicans for his economic failure.
He had two years to pass a "Jobs Act" when there was no effective Republican opposition.
Oh, wait, that's right. He did.
