republicans kill bill that independent analysts say would create jobs

"The bill the Republicans shot down is not a panacea, but independent economists say it would have a significant and swift effect on the current stagnation. Macroeconomic Advisers, whose forecasts are often used by the Federal Reserve, said it could raise economic growth by 1.25 percentage points and create 1.3 million jobs in 2012.

Those economists say that Republican ideas for increasing growth would have no measurable effects in the next year."
