i want to start with this, we know Dems wanto extend the unemployment from before the day it lapsed, we also know that congress control by republicans opted to leave town for an enjoyable holiday with family, while leaving American families unemployed on their desk. they were suppose to return yesterday Pres. kept saying they should turn to and he'll sign it immediately so far 124 hours of dangling on a string for Americans now they are taking a "PROCEDURAL VOTE" why it's a no brainer people are on the edge help them or retire and let someone who will get in.
Although Tuesday's vote is procedural, it will indicate whether there's enough Republican support to move the Emergency Unemployment Compensation.
again they deny you until they are sure enough of them will vote either to continue to deny or do what's right.
As NPR's Craig Windham reports, "GOP lawmakers say they oppose the bill because it does not include offsets-spending cuts to pay the cost" of the extension.However, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), says the extensions have been considered emergency measures in the past and have always passed without offsets.
not new remember Cantor did not want to give his home state disaster relief until they knew
