Senate Republicans on Thursday unveiled a GOP jobs bill designed to offer a conservative vision for improving the economy and counter President Obama’s insistence that congressional Republicans have rejected his ideas for job growth without offering any of their own.
The bill is largely a repackaging of long-stated Republican priorities, and many have also been endorsed by GOP leaders in the House.
But Senate Republicans said it was important to present the ideas in a single package that could compete with President Obama’s $447 billion jobs bill, rejected earlier this week by the Senate.
“You have to be for something,” said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) at an afternoon news conference to unveil the legislation.
Republicans have derided Obama’s blueprint as a temporary quick fix that relies on government spending and will do nothing to improve the economy in the long run.

This is no unveiling despite what the chosen one said earlier this week, it is the same proposals that have been out since May. While we are on the topic of waiting for things, it would be nice to read a story on the Senate budget...
