First Republicans filibustered and blocked the AJA<\/a>.  Next Republicans said NO to teachers, police and firefighters<\/a>.  Next, Democrats in the Senate will try to put Americans to work on America\u2019s decaying infrastructure.  Now it time for me to demonstrate my brilliance and command of rocket science.  I predict that Republicans will filibuster and block that too.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"25infrastructure\"<\/a>Next up for the Democratic Senate on President Obama’s jobs agenda: roads, rails and airports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced today that next week the chamber "will likely" take up the infrastructure part of Obama’s $447 billion American Jobs Act, as it seeks to force Republican votes on every aspect of the proposal.<\/p>\n

Last week, Senate Republicans — and two Democrats — voted to block a part of the Obama jobs plan to help local governments pay for teachers, police officers, and firefighters.<\/p>\n

The week before, Republicans — and two Democrats — voted against consideration of the entire $447 billion jobs proposal, saying the plan costs too much and would do little to reduce the 9.1% jobs rate.<\/p>\n

Obama said he decided to break up the bill "into smaller pieces so that we don’t confuse anybody, and let them vote on each piece one at a time<\/strong>."\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To be honest that prediction did not require genius, after all.  The Republican Party do not care about jobs for Americans.  They care about two thing’s only.<\/font><\/p>\n

  1. Transferring wealth from the 99% to the 1%.<\/strong><\/font> <\/li>\n
  2. Establishing a permanent one-party Republican regime.<\/strong><\/font> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
