Both Senators from VA voted NO. I'd like to hear their rationale- especially from Allen.
The United States debt is too high, and this is no time to cut out the taxes from the wealthiest Americans inheritances. Don't those folks with $30 million+ estates have shelters for these estates anyway? Why is this so important to Republicans?
Today we'll get a new unemployment report. Some Wall Street mavens are hoping that the report shows a slight upturn in unemployment, to discourage the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates again. Isn't ironic that some of the same interests that screech about how raising minimum wage would cause "massive layoffs" can also hope for more unemployment?
