Executive Action
I veto.
While the votes are there to override, I think the Senate should take the time to address two major issues that were mentioned in debate of the bill: paying for the program and preventing abuse of non-fradulent loopholes.
If the Senate feels that the economy is still struggling and continued deficit spending is appropriate, I urge them to include provisions that will offset the expenditures with increased revenue down the road.
I also do not feel that clause 4 is specific or strong enough to prevent a company from hiring, firing and re-hiring workers over and over for tax credits. Doing that would be legal within the law.

What a disappointment. If you didn't like the bill as it was written, couldn't you just take part in the Senatorial debates instead of waiting for it to pass to veto it ? A President vetoing a bill coming from his Vice- President, that sounds like a joke...
