Senate Republicans on Thursday (July 19) blocked an “insourcing” bill from Democrats “that would have ended tax breaks for companies that move jobs overseas.”

Excerpt from The Hill:

The Bring Jobs Home Act also would have given a tax incentives to companies that bring jobs back to the United States. The measure failed to advance on a 56-42 vote, with 60 votes needed to end debate on the bill. 

Earlier in the week, Republicans also blocked the Disclose Act, which would have required the disclosure of campaign contributions of more than $10,000.

Dan Akaka and Dan Inouye voted “yea” on the failed measure.
