The tax breaks and projected jobs in the Senate jobs bill are illusory. The $17 billion package circumvents pay-go rules. But no matter. The Senate passed the Porkulus II today by 68-29 — with support from 11 Republicans.

Here’s the roll call vote:

The Republicans who sided with the endless spending-spree Democrats:

Alexander
Bond
Scott Brown
Burr
Cochran
Collins
Inhofe
LeMieux
Murkowski

GOP Sen. Gregg wondered on the Senate floor before the vote:

Much of the bill is financed over the coming decade by cracking down on offshore tax havens, though it would add $13 billion to the debt in the coming three years.

“When are we going to stop spending money around here as if there’s no tomorrow?” said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. “Because pretty soon there’s going to be no tomorrow for our children as we add this debt to their backs.”

Obama is giddy:

President Barack Obama is thanking lawmakers — and Republicans especially — for their help sending him a jobs bill…He said he looked forward to bipartisan support on other measures in Congress.
