Jobs plan stalled, Obama to try new economic drive
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45010368/ns/politics-the_new_york_times/#.TqUvA3LF-bQThe “We can’t wait” campaign is a new phase in Mr. Obama’s so-far unsuccessful effort — punctuated until now by his cries of “Pass this bill!” on the stump — to pressure Republicans to support the job creation package he proposed after Labor Day. It comes after unanimous votes by Senate Republicans in the past week to block the plan; House Republican leaders have refused to put the measure to a vote.
Polls show overwhelming support for pieces of the $447 billion package, which includes expanded tax cuts for workers and employers, and spending for infrastructure projects and for state aid to keep teachers and emergency responders at work. But Republicans oppose provisions in Mr. Obama’s plan that would offset the costs with higher taxes on the wealthy.
Should the bill ultimately fail, Democrats believe they at least have the better political argument, and they vow to exploit what they call the Republicans’ obstruction in the 2012 campaign.

Not much time left. The Senate is out this week.

Trick - or treat? Senate is off this week, returns on Halloween. House returns tomorrow for two four-day weeks, then takes a week off

The TV show "The Walking Dead" has some scaring similarity with the 99%. If things get worse, we could become them or are almost already there. We are just not dead enough.
Therefore we still have something to fight for!
