The New "jobs plan" (how should republicans respond)

[AUTailgatingRules]

I say let every republican vote present, and let this thing rest on the shoulders of all the Dems.  When the economy still sucks next year and we vote them out of office, we can go back and repeal everything they have passed over the last 3 years.

I don't think they will get an opportunity to vote on the so-called American Jobs Act.  As far as I know the House Dems have not introduced it to the floor while Speaker Boehner introduced a GOP plan to the floor yesterday called the REINS Act which is a counter-offer to The Pharaoh's plan (there I go again, I'll have to report myself to AttackWatch.com!).  The REINS Act is designed to attack the onslaught of out-of-control spending and regulations along with revising the tax code to make it more business-friendly.  We'll have to see what happens.  The House Republicans are standing firm on no tax increases (the American Jobs Act includes tax increases on the 'wealthy'...which you should know means all of us producers).

I'm not sure if you heard about this over the last couple of days, but none of the Dems wanted to touch it.  Nobody would sponsor Barry's bill.  Rep. Louie Gohmert submitted his own bill stealing the same exact name.  It repeals all corporate income tax and repeals the Alternative Minimum Tax on personal tax returns.  It's hilarious when you think about it. 

By the way, I think Gohmert's plan would change things overnight.  Perhaps, it's a little aggressive with the tax cuts, but we would surely make that up in the increased economic activity over time.
