Today-Baucus and Grassley work on a jobs bill. Next week- Republicans filibuster jobs bill
proposed by Baucus-Grassley because Obama might like it or get some credit for it. Watch it happen.

clip
"Senators Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana and chairman of the Finance Committee, and Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the panel’s senior Republican, released a draft $85 billion plan that would give employers a payroll tax exemption for hiring those who have been unemployed for at least 60 days. The bill would also provide a $1,000 income tax credit for new workers retained for 52 weeks."

1. Even they have a republican governor
The DFL is in control of the congress in Minnesota.. they passed a billion dollar jobs bill and will over ride any veto this piece of crap Phewlenty puts to it. Congress the federal kind, could get it done also if they stopped pushy footing..(deliberate misspell) around.

2. They won't engage in a procedural "filibuster" against a tax cut bill written by conservatives
