House Republicans today decided its more important to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act, which has helped hundreds of millions of U.S. families, than it is to pass legislation to bring back some of the 6 million jobs that have been shipped overseas in the past decade.
During this afternoons debate on the Republican bill to repeal the health care reform law, which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld June 28, Democrats offered a measure opening the door for a vote on the Bring Jobs Home Act (H.R.5542). But Republicans blocked the measure by 238-184.
Working families around the country are mobilizing to build support for the bill, which would eliminate tax breaks that allow companies to deduct expenses associated with moving operations overseas and would provide a tax credit to corporations that bring jobs back to the United States.
The Senate is expected to take up its version of the bill (S. 2884) later this month.

(13,704 posts)7. The house Republican SOBs are hell bent to bring the citizens of this
country to their knees. The most un-American corrupt politicians in US history. I have wedded to US politics for over 60 years and I have never seen anything like it.
