The Hill: ENDA Won't Make Senate Floor

[davidinalameda]

Senate Democrats will not address the Employment Non-Discrimination Act before their recess, according to The Hill.

In the next few weeks Democrats will focus on forcing Republicans to vote on issues that primarily reflect the party differences concerning fiscal policy. Senate Democrats aim to send three bills to President Obama's desk in the next three weeks — one regulating Wall Street (which was passed Thursday), an unemployment bill, and a bill extending credit for small businesses.

The Hill reports Congress will go to recess in August and will focus primarily on the November elections. Democrats worry if they appear ineffective before the summer recess, they could lose majorities in both the House and Senate.

3. Which means never

really if we lose the House it means never. Our elected officials have given up on something so basic it is infuriating. This bill should have been passed within the first year of Dem control of the Senate and House.

4. Hardly anyone put up a fight for anything important. "Our" government does not work for us. nt

Seriously, these people make me sick. i am so glad I can leave this country and live and work elsewhere If need to, because I think the time is getting closer when I'll be doing that. I mean that.
