It's also about whether we _4_ build an economy that works for everybody, and whether we're gonna do our part to make sure that our daughters have the same chances to _5_ their dreams as our sons." Congressional Republicans are likely to block the bill, which they say is a desperate political maneuver to deflect attention from a slow growing economy that's stifling opportunity.
