Quotable
"Much of what we'll accomplish - or won't accomplish - during a lame duck has to do with who is going to be elected in November." one Senior Senate Democratic aide said (Roll Call 10/4/10)
Some suggestions..Return Unemployment to the States, reduce Continuing Resolution, reduce Highway Bill, Remove from Tax package business/jobs oriented funding for an over all lower across the board tax reduction.
