Jobs Bill

[Scott Brown]

I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families. This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I voted for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work.

I was disappointed with the continuation of politics-as-usual in the drafting of this bill, as it was crafted behind closed doors, without transparency and accountability. I hope for improvements in that process going forward. All of us, Republicans and Democrats, have to work together to get our economy back on track. I hope my vote today is a strong step toward restoring bipartisanship in Washington.

If it is not "perfect" (I know, nothing is perfect) then don't vote for it! Surely something better can be drafted. What will put people back to work is the tax cuts, not pumping in money that the government has to borrow or print.

Great. Another marxist. Case closed. Thanks, Scott. Guess we'll have to wait another 6 years to find a real Conservative to fill the dead kennedy's seat.
