JOBS Passes but Who Wins?
Although Rep. Cantor regarded the passing of the JOBS bill as a "as a significant bipartisan achievement and noted that the House action
shows that even in an election year, legislative victories are possible," there remains debate of which party gets credit for the bill. With reps constantly under the gun to legislate, I guess politics can never truley escape any type of achievements or progress in Congress. Especially with upcoming elections each side is stating its case, even though the success of the bill is to be determined. Very short-sided logic.http://www.rollcall.com/news/with_jobs_bills_passage_both_parties_tussle_for_credit-212989-1.html?pos=hatxt

This is one of those no brainer bills. Everybody wants less red tape for small businesses to jump through when they are attempting to expand thus creating new revenue resulting in employment expansion. I just wonder if this will really do anything effective or is it just more pandering to voters? You would think at this juncture that congress would have exausted all possibilities it could to allow small business growth given the state of the economy over the last 4 years but hey, who knows!
