According to the U.S. Senate website, www.senate.gov, the Senate will convene and begin a period of morning business at 2:00 p.m. this afternoon. After that, they will resume consideration of the motion to proceed to H.R. 5297, the Small Business Lending Fund Act of 2010. Passing of this bill could mean more jobs for those Unemployed Americans, due to the $30 billion fund to boost small business lending.
I don't know about you, but my morning usually begins at around 6:30 a.m. Also, exactly how much of that $30 billion fund do you think will actually make it into the hands of small business owners looking to expand their operations and hire more workers? I have an inkling, and it's not very much at all.
As of yet, there are no plans to introduce a standalone measure for extending Unemployment benefits, so while Congress is having fun during the 4th of July holiday, the rest of you will just have to sit tight and try to think of reasons why you still love the U.S.A.!
I sure wish I had a Senators schedule. Morning starts at 2 PM, get long paid breaks after doing absolutely nothing for the suffering American people. Lets not forget the large salary these "PUBLIC SERVANTS" get paid to only work a little more than half the year. And they say the uneployed have it rough.
