A large group of Senate Republicans unveiled a jobs bill Thursday, saying they were tired of hearing President Obama assert they had not put forward a plan to spur hiring and jump-start the economy.

The bill is something of a greatest hits of Republican economic proposals. It calls for tax reform that lowers tax rates, repeal of the new healthcare law, a balance budget amendment to the Constitution and expansion of offshore oil drilling.

3. I'm just going to stick my fingers in my ears and sing la-la-la.

It's what they do to us, quite literally. And it's just easier than trying to wrap my brain around how completely and utterly stupid they have become and how they are driving us further and further and further into the ground.

to put to work? This is b.s. as is everything they "create".
