Jobs Bill Passes Senate

Senate passes $15 billion jobs bill on bipartisan vote: "The Senate easily passed a $15 billion jobs bill on Wednesday morning ... The measure passed 70 to 28, with 13 Republicans joining 57 Democrats in support of the package. ... The next stop is the House, where Democratic leaders are weighing whether to pass the Senate version or go to conference to reconcile it with the $154 billion jobs bill the House passed in December."

I remain amazed how many of the GOP caucus refused to vote for this bill.
