The Local Jobs for America Act: Why Aren’t More Politicians Supporting Legislation Americans Need an
Huffington Post – Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) recently introduced the Local Jobs for America Act in the Senate, a piece of legislation that gives Americans exactly what they want: More jobs and the help they need to train for and secure long-term employment.
A companion bill introduced in the House by Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) in March has more than 160 co-sponsors. Unfortunately there are members on both sides of the aisle who believe it won't play well with voters concerned that legislation of this kind will further balloon the deficit.
