Jobless benefits vote passes procedural hurdle in Senate

The Senate on Tuesday moved forward with a bill to extend federal unemployment benefits for three months.
In a 60-37 vote, the Senate ended debate on a motion to consider the bill. Sixty votes were required to move forward.
find out who those 37 votes belonged to then fire their asses in Nov.  their is no sense in denying something like this and expect to be re-elected is that part of their right wing insanity, my first guess is "YES".
GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Rob Portman (Ohio) and Dan Coats (Ind.) joined Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) in voting with Democrats.
Many Republicans objected to moving forward with the bill because the $6.4 billion cost of the three-month extension is not offset with spending cuts, and it's unclear whether the measure will even be taken up in the House — assuming the Senate approves it.
they did not pay for wars ,big pharma, tax cuts to rich all of which helped nobody but the rich we are paying that debt for them the same guys that whined about leaving debt on their children well they did and are still trying to blame the Pres. like Clinton said "takes a lot of brass to accuse someone of what you do", i said, "they do the dirt then try to sweep in on his shoes" well before Clinton's. yes that was a gratuitous slap on my own back lol.
