Wow i read they denied the bill to extend unemployment benefits recently so what happens next ?. There are people unemployed through no fault of their own and 2010 will be another tough year as so many jobs have being lost and no new ones created ...
The unemployment extension was not denied. The Republicans are stalling and they are debating on how the extension will be paid for.. either from the stimulus funds or an extended tax on employers. They have 60 Senate Hours before time is us and they must vote on it. Senate is expected to vote on this measure by the end of the week.
It's a certainty that it will.
The problem is that Senate Republicans are stalling the legislation in attempts to attach amendments for unrelated issues. With folks out of work, this is American politics at its worst.
Contact your elected representatives (especially your 2 senators) and demand that they act on the bill NOW and stop messing around with petty politics. The bill needs to hit the Senate floor for an up-or-down vote without any more time-wasters by Republicans.
Odds are strong that another extension will be passed.
stop smoking ...that will save some money..you can't afford them..
