No Democrat Comes Forward to File Obama’s “American Jobs Act of 2011 (AKA “Son of Stimulus”); GOP Rep. Louis Gohmert Files His Own Bill Using the Same Name!

This was great thinking by GOP Rep. Louis Gohmert!!! I wonder why no Democrat was “Johnny-on-the-spot” to file Obama’s bill so it could be “passed right away?”

THE HILL: Texas GOP Rep. Louis Gohmert officially introduced the American Jobs Act of 2011 on Wednesday afternoon.

“My bill is not the president’s bill, it’s a real job creator,” Gohmert told The Hill, shortly after filing his two-page alternative to the president’s plan, under the same title.

Gohmert said that he read the president’s 155-page jobs plan, when it was emailed to lawmakers on Monday afternoon.

Calling the president’s plan a “disaster,” Gohmert said that he checked to see “who filed the ‘American Jobs Act’ for the president, here in the House, since we had to do it ‘now, right away,” but discovered that the plan had not been officially introduced in the House.

So, at 1:20pm Gohmert filed his own version of a jobs bill, under the title included on the president’s legislation distributed to members of Congress two-days prior.

The Texan lawmaker’s measure would eliminate the 35 percent corporate tax to spur job creation in the private sector. . . .
