For the Unemployed and the Uninsured, Tough Love from Republican Sen. Jon Kyl

Hey Americans, Republican Senator Jon Kyl is making a point during this Great Recession by holding up the jobs bill.

Minority Whip Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said that Republicans will block consideration of the new bill unless they get “a path forward fairly soon” on the estate tax.

As reported in the Wall Street Journal:

The left says it is a blatant case of the rich holding the poor hostage. The right say it is the only way to get a vote on the estate-tax issue … Lee Farris, Estate Tax Policy Coordinator at the left-leaning United for a Fair Economy called the plan to link the estate tax to the jobs bill “an outrage.”
