This should be the motto of the Republican Party. Once again they show their true stripes hoping Obama Fails. By doing what they are doing they are preventing Jobs from being created, Jobs from being shipped overseas, and jobs in the biodiesel industry that are disappering because they do not care about lower and middle class Americans.
The time is now to email Harry Reid and demand that he use reconciliation.
According to the Congressional Research Service, reconciliation has been used 22 times since 1981 and the procedure has been used frequently in the past to change important federal policies.
With Senator Byrd gone and the WV Governor will appoint a Republican we need to act now. And I do not mean use this just for Tax Extendors bill but for everything. The climate and Energy Bill, Immigration, and we will probably have to use it for this Bank Reform Bill because they still have to vote on the bill coming out again.
My soap box is Biodiesel. The Biodiesel Tax credit has helped build this industry to 150 plants and 50,000 plus jobs. I know many of you on this board do not like Biodiesel and I agree we need to move from all oil but if our air is cleaner because of it then why not? It is estimated that nearly half of the 50,000 have been layed off due to the tax credit not being extended.
There are other tax incentives for small business in this bill as well. Our only hope now is Reconciliation urge Senator Read to do this now.
