Jobs Act Failed in the Senate


According to the article, consideration for the Jobs Bill was blocked as it simply did not have ten additional votes. Now with the Democrats left to scramble and pick up pieces here and there, what will happen next.

Honestly, I was shocked by the reaction. Most everyone though that at least the Bill would be considered and at least part of it would be passed under the title of the Jobs Act. (Here's another source: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20103989-503544.html.) I honestly did not think that the entire thing would get passed due to its hefty price tag of $447 billion dollars.

What do you think should happen next? And how should the Democrats save face?
