WHY ARE THE REPUBLICANS in the US Senate BLOCKING a bill to give small community banks loan guarantees, so they can loan the money to small businesses?

Senate Republicans on Thursday rejected a bill to aid small businesses with expanded loan programs and tax breaks, a procedural blockade that underscored how fiercely determined the party’s leaders are to deny Democrats any further legislative accomplishments before November’s midterm elections.


Come on youse Republicans/Conservatives....

WHY ARE REPUBLICANS OBSTRUCTING?

“The majority leader has graciously given us three amendments and what I’m saying is three amendments is not enough; he knows that,” Mr. McConnell said, leveling his objection on the Senate floor. “So we are not expecting to have an unlimited number of amendments, but three amendments will not suffice.”

So are you unable to read? thats ok i cut and pasted for you the reason why they voted against it.........

Thank you ol'wise one.... As small businesses close across the land we be secure in the knowledge that Republicans refused to help because 3 amendments are simply not enough.

where the hell were the dems when opie had to close? they could have done something back then....but they didnt...opie closed, the bookstore closed....and i thought opie mentioned that the trolley buisiness was closing...but i could be wrong on that....sounds to me like u and the dems are just trying to blame conservatives......the dems had control of everything then....so why the hell didnt they do anything to help these guys out ....its a political ploy....unfortunately u have the blinders that the libs handed out......
