Once again, Republicans are united in their opposition to a bill (this time, the "Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010") that Democrats are attempting to pass through the Senate. It doesn't matter that the Democrats have a majority; there are now enough Republicans to successfully filibuster a bill even without the aid of a handful of moderate/conservative/sellout Democrat Senators/House members.
Conveniently, this allows Republicans/Libertarians (and anyone else who parrots the "bloated government" mantra) to use this as another example of bureaucratic inefficiency. The tactic works fine for Republican politicians, as they benefit from strengthening their argument that privatization is the answer to everything. Any blame regarding the stalled economic recovery is automatically passed on to "the party in control."
