Alan Grayson said Congress spent weeks debating Syria instead of focusing on our economy

The reality is that Congress spent the more than two years prior to this debate doing nothing about economy.

Will this new anti-Syria internvention coalition work to pass a jobs bill and funding for infrastructure development?

To the detriment of the people of the US. Led by McConnell of course. Even using the threat of impeachment. The GOP Congressmen are the people responsible for the mess this country is in.
