What - EXACTLY - is in S. 1931 - that the other side considers objectionable. Do you know? Be specific - please don't provide the usual ambiguous, no-answer blather about political games.

EXACTLY - SPECIFICALLY - what is in S. 1931 that the democrats can't accept?

I always thought they should have attached it to the farm bill because the GOP wants that to pass badly so I think they may be a little more generous in their demands of the unemployment extension. It's really tit for tat. Corporate welfare with no reduction in anything else vs unemployment extension with no reduction in anything else (although I think the cuts in food stamps should count on our side).

Granted I missed a few hours, but I watched the last few hours, unless this is Top Secret stuff involving National security, I think some Senator needs to explain the "strategy" of todays approach... because the support LOOKS a little weak from where i sit...

Basically reduces weeks of eligibility for emergency unemployment tiers 1 and 2, which reduces total state and federal unemployment from 73 weeks to 57 weeks. Along with some other proposals.

I guarantee, in Obama's speech tomorrow they will use this as political posturing, and nothing more. They will have another hollywood display for the American people, meanwhile, we are penniless, will be homeless, and possibly dead. Scary stuff

Reduction of Tiers 1 and 2 is a given at this point. That still doesn't answer my Q and is nothing new.

Draft proposals mentioned way back upthread ALL reduced Tiers 1 and 2 - and b/c GOP couldn't tack on their unrelated amendments, they got p*ssy and voted them down. Kids basically throwing yet another tantrum because they had to be the tail wagging the dog.

So, what's different about S. 1931 that dems won't consider it? B/c, according to MN, it's ALL the democrats fault. So, I wanna know why.

Too many unrelated GOP add-ons??? I'm waiting for MN's answer.

Specifics, please.
