The climb out of the economic ditch has been slow but is happening and should be recognized by most people even with all the noise being made to cover the achievements made by the Obama Administration. Yesterday, the YES vote in the House of Representatives for HR1586 passed after much debate and negative comments from Republicans. The Bill will arguably guarantee workers will not be laid off and it was clear the Democratic Party saw this as an emergency vote unlike those on the right who are suppose to do the people’s business but are definitely choosing not to participate in. The very people put into Political office called HR1586 a bailout, stating that is not a responsible thing for Congress to, yet if you ask any Teacher or Firefighter in any state, I am sure they would feel it is about time somebody in Congress help out their fellow American… HR1586 will not only help Teachers, First Responders, and other Gov’t jobs but will extend stimulus money to help States pay Medicaid. The fact is Republicans keep talking trash and anyone listening would have heard comments like, “Where do the bailouts end?” asked Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio. “Are we going to bail out states next year and the year after that, too? At some point we’ve got to say, ‘Enough is enough.'” Moreover, while Boehner and his crazy train continue to prove they are not only unqualified to handle the peoples business on the floor of Congress or their own States. They probably would be telling ALL Americans that they will repeal any and everything considered an entitlement. The list would include everything that would help the average person on Main Street, deregulate Wall Street, Oil industry. It is clear Republicans would shake the middle class yet make sure that any tax cut is kept in place and probably remains unpaid for -hey that is what they want but are unwilling to be honest about where the money would come from to pay for them …if at all. The cost to pay for keeping the Bush Tax Cuts in place would be $830Billion dollars. The thought anyone would say that out loud with millions of their own constituents listening to them is not only outrageous, it is offensive.
It is time we All listen to Politicians we can trust and right now that is the Democratic Party. I will admit that even the Democratic Party has conservdems that may not be the best representation of the Democrats ideology on a whole. Conservadems, vote to represent the States who voted them into office and apparently are more right of center depending on the issue. Republicans unlike Democratic Rep. Jay Inslee said his state of Washington would get funds to keep 3,000 teachers he continued Republicans, he said, “think those billions of dollars for those corporate loopholes is simply more important than almost 3,000 teachers and classrooms in the state of Washington.” In addition, we have Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., w ho said Republicans ignore the fact that the law would not add to the federal deficit. “They want to do everything in their power to make certain that President Obama can’t get this country going again. I think in November they are going to find it was a dumb policy.”

A Congressional analysis released yesterday finds that, if the Bush tax cuts for the rich expire, taxpayers earning more than $1 million would “still receive on average a tax cut of about $6,300” compared with what they would’ve paid in 2001. The analysis also found that “less than 3 percent of filers with small-business income” are subject to the top two income tax rates.

House Adjourns After Passing Aid to States; Senate Returns to Full Agenda After Break
During yesterday’s session, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) took to the floor to respond to the Ethics Committee charges against him and the trial he faces later this fall. Saying that his actions may have been “stupid or neglect[ful] but… not corrupt,” Rangel announced that he had no intentions of resigning and wanted to have a hearing to refute the charges.
The House also approved a $600 million border security bill that will now go back to the Senate for a vote. There are reports that the Senate may meet this week to vote out this bill by unanimous consent.
When the Senate returns next month members are scheduled to take up work on financial incentives geared to small-businesses, appropriations bills for the fiscal year and climate change legislation. They are trying to pass this legislation before the October recess so members can return to their states to campaign for the midterm elections.
