It would appear that anytime a politicians does something of self interest which I am afraid to have to admit, I believe is most of time, must look at the bill with jaundice eyes because the odds are it isn't beneficial to the taxpayer/voter.
The liberal segment of the Democratic Party is leading its voters astray. Likewise, the Establishment of the Republucan Party is leading its voters astray. Mitt Romney is on a balance beam trying to appease the Establishment, Evangelical , Tea Party and Independents...and a difficulty balancing act it is. I believe Romney is a moderate Republican, I support that position because I believe it is needed to reunite this nation. Conversely I believe Obama's obssessive idealogy is so destructive that he is incapble of uniting this nation. it may be fun to portrya rich white guys as evil greedy two headed monsters but it is destructive becaue rich white guys or the rich in general creating the continue impetus for this country's economy.
"United we stand divided we fall" that is what will cross my mind when I enter the voting booth in November

As I see it, Rubicon, you are against the Bring Jobs Home Act for two reasons. 1) It is pro-union and therefore the Democrats want it because it will give them more union support. 2) The odds are it is not beneficial to the taxpayers.
You do not give any rational viewpoints one way or another. The Act is to give tax breaks to companies who eliminate outsourcing and bring jobs back to the USA - and to eliminate tax breaks to companies who do not. That definitely sounds like a win-win for everyone interested in creating jobs by giving tax breaks as well as for eliminating tax breaks (reducing debt for the taxpayer) on companies who are not helping our economy by having jobs outsourced.

BTK says the Bring Jobs Home Act would be only a band-aid. Well, a band-aid is better than nothing. He also says, "No I have not read the bill. No I will not look for it. No I will not criticize what I have not read first hand." Nothing open-minded here - Just Say No!
