    Anyone Remember ORange Man Boehner talk about "JOBs" but blocked all Job related bills to come to the floor. Remember Turtle man McConnell talk about Jobs but worked against it ever coming up for a vote. OK here it is. Obstruction of POTUS (Obama) Jobs Bill that would have provided jobs for Americans. Folks pay attention. Do Not be brainwashed by lying Faux News Rhetoric that spews hate of our Bi-Racial President. You do it at your own peril. Will be tagging many of my FB friends. Does not mean you agree. It means I want your attention NOW. To Act if you Agree we need to fix our crumbling infra-structure-- our roads, bridges, cleaning our polluted waters, all used by tax-evading Koch brothers and their kind. Right now we are paying for it. Lets make them pay taxes on what they earn instead of cutting SNAP programs, the disabled, elderly and seniors. I am talking to white male baby boomers with a few exceptions- glory be my husband being one.
    'The Senate shot down another piece of President Obama’s $447 billion jobs bill Thursday, as a stalemated Congress goes through the motions of attempting legislation to spur economic growth largely as a mechanism to allow each party to blame the other for the failure to act.

    The chamber failed to advance a measure to spend $50 billion on highway, rail, transit and airport improvements and another $10 billion as seed money for an infrastructure bank designed to spark private investment in construction. The vote was 51 to 49 in favor, but the measure needed 60 votes to proceed to a full debate.

    The failure came in advance of a jobs report due out Friday morning that will show the trajectory of the job market in the final quarter of the year. So far, there are signs that employers are shrugging off the ill effects of Europe’s troubles and volatile financial markets and are continuing to hire at a gradual pace. The September unemployment report relieved concerns about massive waves of layoffs, and last week the Commerce Department said the economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the summer months, its fastest clip in a year.

    The Labor Department also reported Thursday that the number of people filing new claims for unemployment insurance benefits fell last week to 397,000, from a revised 406,000 the previous week. That was the lowest level in five weeks. Also Thursday, a survey from the Institute for Supply Management on activity at the nation’s service businesses was little changed, at 52.9 in October compared with 53 in September. Numbers above 50 indicate expansion.
