House Passes New $155 Billion "Jobs Bill"

Is this an admission that the stimulus has been an utter failure and complete waste of taxpayer money? Reuters reports that "the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a $155 billion measure that seeks to create jobs and blunt the impact of the worst recession since the 1930s. By a vote of 217 to 212, the House approved additional spending for 'shovel-ready' construction projects and money to avoid layoffs of teachers, police and other public employees. The Senate is expected to consider the measure early next year." If construction projects were so essential, why was it not part of the stimulus bill? Tweet
