All the amendments were proposed by Reid.

Those were very minor things like changing the enactment date. The GOP terrorists are holding the bill hostage to extend the Bush tax cuts.

What's the point in that?

I thought Obama said that's what he plans on doing....

Always the dumb act. Obama wants to extend the tax cuts for incomes under $250,000 as you well know.

I'll go with reason number one:

A Senator, particularly the majority leader, might pursue a strategy of “filling the amendment tree” for several reasons, including

• preventing non-germane (and perhaps politically controversial) amendments to a measure from being offered or voted upon;
• attempting to expedite overall Senate consideration of legislation by limiting the overall number of amendments offered;
• obtaining advantage in the negotiation of a unanimous consent request for the further consideration of a measure;
• obtaining the first recorded vote on a policy provision in the exact form desired; or
• instituting some measure of leadership control over the subject or sequence of floor amendments offered.

I'm completely speechless. My jaw is on the floor. For once, the Democrats are doing the right thing to help the economy. This bill is PROOF that even the Democrats understand that their typical policies hurt the economy.

In this bill, they are proposing giving a tax cut of 100% on significant investments (equipment, etc.) and a 10% tax cut for hiring new employees.

After having to endure the radical Communism/Marxism/Socialism of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, it is so refreshing to see the party hijacked by Communists actually respond like responsible, adult Democrats again. This is an example of a Democrat Party I could absolutely work and compromise with.

To the Democrats who worked on this bill - I salute you.

Do you salute the Republicans who just filibustered the bill too???????

Could it be because of the number of amendments?

It was the GOP who filibustered the bill because they could not bog it down with amendments!!!

Well the Bush tax cuts need to be extended. Even the Marxist dictator himself - Obama - said that the worst thing you could do during a bad economy is raise taxes. If you weren't so radical and partisan, you would admit that as well.

I am sure they will attach it to something far less attractive. lol

Harry Reid is unquestionably the WORST Senator in US history. He is truly a terrorist and a radical. Everything must be 100% Communist/Marxist/Socialist or he blocks it from even being voted on. Funny how he fears a Democrat-controlled Senate from even voting on a bill (speaks volume about just how radical he is). He is one serious piece of sub-human garbage....

For ONLY those you mention?

Never trust the democrats on taxes

If it is such a wonderful to give Small Businesses a Tax-Break for hiring.......

Why is it such a horrible thing to give Tax-Breaks to Corporations?
