The House of Representatives will pass something they’re calling a jobs bill today. They accomplish this by giving it a nice acronym: the Jumpstarting Our Business Startups, or JOBS, Act. Now, jump-starting should be a hyphenated word so it really should be the J-SOBS Act, but we’ll let that slide. The really egregious things about this are: A) it has nothing to do with jobs, and B) it’s based on Democratic legislation that already passed, simply repackaged by the House GOP and called a jobs bill.
