If it was a "clean" bill, the Republicans in the senate made a huge mistake. It would have taken the issue off the table had they voted for it. It was a no brainer. When Dirty harry hands you one on a silver platter, take it.

My guess it wasn't a "clean" bill.

Probably wasn’t a clean bill. Very few are, but the dems will point to the republicans as not wanting to create jobs and of course the MSM will portray it that way. But I haven’t heard anything on the news about it yet, so maybe it will stay under the radar.

I just don’t think the GOP understands that often perception is reality, especially to stupid people.

Part of the cleanness problem might be the treatment of US based multinationals that do out-manufacturing in the same countries where they sell because the customer country requires it. If such companies will see new penalties for doing that, this is unreasonable.
