This bill is more like, "This bill is for you, citizens, so like, re-elect me, re-elect Obama. I am doing stuff".

The record of the economic proposals enacted during the last Congress necessitates careful examination of the president’s latest plan as well as consideration of alternative measures that may more effectively support private-sector job creation.

Translation from Boehnerese:

We will not support anything proposed by the president; instead, we will pretend to negotiate but in the end will insist only on measures that put more money in the pocket of the wealthy - even if that money must come from the pockets of the workers.

Go for it, guys! This measure was clearly designed to demonstrate your obstructionism, obsequiousness to the moneyed class, and hostility towards the working class.

To bad it wasn't designed to create jobs.
