What pisses me off about the failure to pass this is that it wasn't an up or down vote. They needed 60 to avoid a filibuster....a filibuster from lame duck republicans who lost in the last election.....yet these same people are going to use the few days they have left to hold our economy hostage.
I totally understand republicans voting against this on principle...but to use procedural roadblocks to prevent an up or down vote on something that affects 3 million jobs is just fucking ridiculous.
