As per usual, facts presented, libs absent

The Hire More Heroes Act (H.R. 3474)

merged into another Bill. United States Senate began working on the bill in May 2014, when it decided to amend the bill so that it could serve as the legislative vehicle for S. 2260 the EXPIRE Act.[5] The EXPIRE Act would extend a variety of tax credits that expired at the end of 2013.

The Success and Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Act

sent to committee

The Innovation Act

The Senate still need to pass companion legislation, which is likely to be sponsored by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Plus its being amended in the house.

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Protection Act

Obama said he would veto due to not enough safeguards. Bill is currently being amended to address other peoples concerns.

The American Research and Competitiveness Act

The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 4438 would reduce revenues, thus increasing federal deficits, by about $156 billion over the 2014-2024 period.[1]
Fairly straight forward. Obama expressed that he would support this if other loopholes where closed.

Thats all i feel like doing the rest. so the reality is that this really isnt much concern or harry isnt being that evil and blocking these bills.

But hey perhaps next time you get these chain emails, you will research yourself before looking like a moron and posting them here.

And 183 Democrats voted for this, yet the Senate will not act on it....

Why is that? Harry Reid figures it might hurt Obamacare? It wasn't written by a Democrat? What?
There are no attachments...Come on lefties defend it....

 

[SFC Ollie]

Well someone went deep, But what was wrong with it? It might cost money? Democrats love to spend money, And it wouldn't cost anything it simply would prevent them from collecting additional revenues.

Amended & merged in the Senate most certainly means DOA. Perhaps you should get back to cashing your welfare checks while playing xbox and let the adults finish their discussion.

WDebate about the EXPIRE Act[edit]
The Club for Growth, a conservative group, objected to the legislation and called it a "special-interest orgy."[5] Wind energy related tax provisions in the Senate bill would cost almost $13 billion and are opposed by some Republicans.[6]

On May 9, 2014, the House passed the American Research and Competitiveness Act of 2014 (H.R. 4438; 113th Congress), a bill that would make permanent the Research & Experimentation Tax Credit, a business tax credit for companies pursuing research and development projects in the United States.[10][11] The credit was created in 1981, has been renewed multiple times, and recently expired.[12][13] Since the Senate's EXPIRE Act has a similar provision to extend this tax credit, there is some hope that the two parties will be able to compromise about it.[5] However, the major difference between the two is that the House is making some tax extenders permanent, while the Senate is still pushing for a variety of shorter extensions, as has been traditionally done.[6]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that the bill "will help countless Americans" and "bring American families and the economy a fair shot."[6]

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), the Senate Finance Committee chairman, said that his "first choice" would be to pass tax reform immediately, but that "the reality is that tax reform is not happening tomorrow. Reaching a bipartisan, comprehensive plan is going to take time and work."[6]

Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) argued that "rather than blindly extending these provisions, what we ought to do is eliminate these wasteful extenders which are really just subsidies" such as the production tax credit.[6] According to Flake, due to the United States' debt of $17.5 trillion, subsidies need to be eliminated.[6]
