HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Jobs Bill a Ploy for Democratic Votes, Republicans Say
n a mostly partisan vote, the Senate passed a $26.1 billion dollar state aid bill aimed at saving public service jobs and assisting states with Medicaid obligations, but Republicans are crying foul, saying the "special interest bailout" is aimed at energizing demoralized Democratic voters.
Democrats, with the help of Republican Maine Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe passed the legislation on a 61-39 vote. Supporters say it will save 140,000 jobs that would've been lost this school year. The bill received the two Republican votes in the Senate after Majority Leader Harry Reid found a way to pay for it.
Offsets for the spending are paid in part by getting rid of tax breaks for some U.S.-based companies that also operate overseas. Also on the chopping block are increased food-stamp benefits and $1.5 billion for a program aimed at advancing renewable energy technology.

Way to go Maine.
Why are these two still in the GOP? Unless they are kicked out, their actions appear to be condoned by the Republicans.
Which will certainly be called a bipartisan vote by everyone over at JournOlist.
Less time at home also means less time to face angry voters.

Why are the Witches from Maine NEVER held accountable for their obvious lack of respect for the will of the American People. Or are the people in Maine a bunch of whiney gov.nanny staters?

The next Civil War will be quite interesting when the North finds out it no longer has the manufacturing base or resources to supply itselft. Those are predominantly in the South and Western States.
Places like Maine will face, harsh, cold winters and the people there better know how to grow their own food, as they won’t get any from us.
The magic number is not 11 to get the senate it’s 13.
Leadership are rino in the Senate
If it gets close to Republican control they will switch like Spectre.
