House Republican leaders are standing firm in their opposition to the stimulus plan that President Barack Obama is asking Congress to approve.
Just ahead of a House vote that they're expected to lose along party lines, Republicans insisted Wednesday that their own plan, focusing on tax relief, would create twice as many new jobs _ 6.2 million _ as the plan Obama is pushing, while costing about half as much.
House Minority Leader John Boehner said Republicans remain "disappointed" in the stimulus plan coming to a vote. He says it includes a "lot of wasteful spending that won't create jobs."
He says the GOP plan for "fast-acting tax relief" would "create jobs and preserve jobs in America."
