They are going to be sorely disappointed when it turns out that Americans are sick and tired of their grandstanding bullshit.

The bill will 1) never be brought up in the Senate and 2) never be signed by the President.

It is a monumental waste of time mistakenly calculated to score political points at the expense of the GOP House doing something - anything - about jobs.
