The House always has more votes then the Senate, and a count of the votes doesn't mean much to begin with, many are procedural votes. Statistics on actual bills passed would be more interesting, but even there this is a huge problem comparing them. The filibuster only applies to the Senate, and the House often exploits this by passing bills the House members know will never pass the Senate.

It would also appear that the current Democratic leadership is not inclined to put cloture votes up unless they think they have a chance of winning. This will further reduce the number of votes and bills passing the Senate.

These have included bills to reduce anti-business regulations, accelerate offshore oil production, and speed the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry Canadian oil to refineries in Texas. The pipeline alone would create 20,000 jobs.

If that is the best examples he can come up with of Republican job bills, it should be obvious why there is a problem getting them passed in the Senate. Every single one is a pro-corporate bill that has been rebranded as a job bill.
