$85 Billion
Measure Being Touted as Bipartisan Effort
By Ben Pershing
The Washington Post
The top Democrat and Republican on the Senate Finance Committee
released a draft of the chamber's jobs bill
Thursday, vowing to maintain the "bipartisan character" of
their negotiations going forward.
The $85 billion package -- which includes a payroll tax break for
employers hiring new workers along with a blend of tax credits,
infrastructure spending moves and measures to extend expiring
legislation -- is the first in what Democratic leaders say will be a
series of job-creation measures the Senate will address in 2010. The
bill also represents a break from recent partisan history in the
chamber, where the majority and minority have been loathe to
collaborate on any significant legislation.
