    Obvious...pure politics.

    Reid knows that the bill will never pass the Democrat controlled Senate, so if it fails the Dems get blamed.

    Much better to let the house vote on it, then blame the Republicans.

    Obviously there arent enough Democrats willing to back the bill. Reid will need some time to bribe his own party members to vote for it.

    dk. Maybe Reid is waiting for the poll numbers, or unemployment numbers to come out more favorably.

    Democrats in Senate are changing the invoice up slightly so as that millionaires pay greater in taxes to help fund job-starting to be infrastructure initiatives. Harry Reid says that afterwards, all Democrats will vote for it. that way, whilst the Republicans vote against it... in spite of the reality that it in ordinary terms will develop taxes on the prosperous and cuts taxes on employers... individuals will see what Republicans fairly care approximately.
