Dems offer up Patriot Corps. For America Legistlation!

In these days when the leadership of Congress strives to unite their base with such materially insignificant legislation as the Flag Burning Act that has been narrowly defeated in the Senate, but was a colossal waste of our tax money, finally someone in Congress is doing something that actually makes a difference.  Some House Democrats are proposing a bill to favor corporations that invest in America with jobs, retirement and health care benies for workers, and complying with environmental and work safety regulations; titled the “Patriotic Corporations for America” legistlation it will give these corps first consideration on Gov. contracts and tax breaks.  What a novel idea: to have strings attached to the corporate wellfare our government hands out.   My bet is it won’t make it to the floor for a vote; I mean why would Congress want to hold corporations accountable when they don’t want to hold this administration accountable.  But surely someone out there has a less skeptical take on this bill.
