Its about damn time that Democrats learn how to name our own friggin bills in a marketing sense. Typically, this would be called something like the "American Employment Growth Stimulation Act of Two Thousand One Hundred and Eleven Anno Domini" or something to that extent.

7. Yep. I was going to say the "Job killing American Jobs act"
They'll figure out a way to fuck it up good.

I just hope the Republican voters are watching.

3. tax breaks for the rich, cut medicare, more "free" trade deals...call it American Jobs Act
in the same vein as the PATRIOT ACT and Right To Work states.

Obama's finally getting the hang of the doublespeak dictionary

So in that sense, it's following the trend.
