MIM - Harper and Thompson Vote No, Taylor and Childers Vote Yes on Jobs Bill
In something you don’t see everyday, Representatives Gregg Harper and Bennie Thompson both opposed a House bill, while Representative Gene Taylor and Travis Childers both supported it. The bill was the $15 billion jobs bill that recently cleared the Senate (that Wicker and Cochran supported). The final House vote was a rather close 217-201.
Harper joined 165 Republicans in opposing the bill mainly for fiscal reasons. But Thompson joined several other members of the Black Caucus who opposed the bill arguing that it does not spend enough and therefore will not make a difference.

Gene Taylor claims to be a fiscal conservative but he votes for a bill which that involves MORE spending!!!???!!!! STOP THE SPENDING. On the Gulf Coast after Katrina businesses could not find employees to work. The day after unemployment was stopped there were lines of people applying for jobs. People won’t put forth the effort to find work or make money if they know the government is going to bail them out. It’s time to stop the nanny state. It’s time to stop furthering the debt. Gene Taylor is NOT the person to stop this madness.
