The Republicans, so eager not to do anything that might improve the economy before the mid-term elections, or give President Obama any sort of political victory, blocked a small business bill that is supported by the GOP big money patrons at the Chambers of Commerce.

The GOP Senators, wound up in themselves and just filibustering away, missed the call from their big business bosses at the Chambers of Commerce, and in lock step, like block head robots, voted: No!

No! To tax breaks for small business! No! No! No! Why? Because Mr. Obama proposed them. No! To a tax break for all companies that make large capital purchases.

The Wall Street Journal pointed out that the bill is something Republicans should love. But the bill would encourage businesses to increase their investment and spending, and help in the recovery. So the Party of No shouted, " No!No!No!" Why? Because the Democrats proposed it.

By the end of the day, I think the Chamber of Commerce may have met some of the GOP Senators outside the Senate chamber, and gave a few of them "the business," because the Huff Hill Post reports, there will be another vote taken next week.
