Wall Street Journal: House Leaders Push for Jobs Bill

From Wall Street Journal:

The House of Representatives is pushing a bill aimed at boosting employment, a potentially risky move that underscores Democrats' fears about the economy and jobs -- including their own as they head into an election year.  Elements of such a bill could run the gamut from infrastructure spending to small-business lending to extra aid for states and the unemployed, lawmakers said. Democratic leaders haven't determined any specifics -- including the politically dicey question of how to pay for it...  Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who runs the House Democrats' campaign effort, said lawmakers were aiming for a six-year infrastructure bill that also could include energy-related investment.
