GOP appears willing to allow a vote on the transportation bill - delayed 2 yrs, damage done, now CYA

[Bill USA]

....now with the damage to employment accomplished, GOP will cover their asses so they can say..."See, we agreed to the President's transportation bill. That's just partisan talk when Obama and the Dems call us obstructionists."

They call you obstructionists, I call you destructionists....your objective is destruction of good Government.

Who needs al Kaida when you've got the GOP?

The Senate could vote as early as Thursday on the 599-page bill, an aide said, while the House of Representatives is expected to vote on Friday.

The bill would extend funding for the National Flood Insurance Program to September 30, 2017. It had been set to expire at the end of July.

It also includes a one-year, $6 billion fix to prevent a doubling of interest rates on federal student loans.

Congress took more than two years to reach the point of finalizing a transportation bill, and only because the potential consequences of inaction proved too risky in an election year.
