Conservative Nabs Naming Rights to American Jobs Act After Obama Delay
President Obama repeatedly asked members of Congress to pass the American Jobs Act last week. But when no Democrat filed Obamas bill after he presented it to Congress, a conservative congressman swiped the name for his own legislation.
The American Jobs Act introduced in the House of Representatives looks quite different from the version President Obama outlined in his speech to Congress. Instead of hiking taxes on working Americans to pay for another stimulus, Rep. Louie Gohmerts (R-TX) legislation offers a tax cut.
UPDATE: Gohmerts bill now has a number. Its HR 2911.
Text of the legislation is below.
