So you are advocating cutting off 11 million unemployed, we'll send them to your house for dinner.
Unemployment will be extended because there are no jobs and America can't afford 20 million homeless living by the roadsides. Then we will have to pay millions to rebuild the claims that the computer has shut off.
Oh Lawdy, lawdy the sky is falling, the sky is falling!!
Let's hurry up and not waste this 'crisis' !
Dumb "Dirtbin" Senator from Illinois is barking at the wrong guy.
Where the hell were all the other Senators? Long weekending maybe (regular folks work 5 days a week) and not taking care of the public they were sworn to represent?
The vote was taken late Thursday and Bunnings objection was "How are you going to pay for $$10,000,000,000.00 in extra extended unemployment benefits??" (raise taxes/increase national debt)
What happened to the DumbocRats pledge of "pay-as-you-go-funding"?

Many people will have to sleep outdoors and dig in dumpsters for food. Do you have any advice for them?

So you agree that the title of the article and this post was completely mis-leading? Thanks.
February 13 Obama signs pay-as-you-go, and right away the Dems try to get around it.
Why don't you go READ the paygo bill. It's very clear that you don't know what it says. Isn't it you all who whine so convincingly about how some Congressperson hasn't read a bill? How about you go read one for a change...
How long should people get unemployment benefits? 2 years? 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? If you can't find a job after a year you aren't serious. You may not like what you have to take but taxpayers shouldn't have to pay benefits to people indefinitely.
yep, it must suck to be that 100/hr flag woman on the road
bunning should be commended for trying to save the american taxpayer
"..Quick...we have a spill of b.s and outright lying in aisle two.."
So the woman on the road is making $100.00 an hour...do you think you can find anyone stupid enough to believe this?...oh wait, we have...the same idiots who believe all the autoworkers in Detroit were making this same amount!!
The problem is some people are resentful of workers who are on par or make more than them, so they lie in order to maintain some silly class idea of "they should not be living at my level".
First, he's not costing the STATE, anything.. He's SAVING the FEDERAL taxpayers money.. Do you undertand the difference betseen states not spending, and federal, not spending, and now not spending equals SAVINGS, not spending?
Bunning is stopping NOTHING, its DEMOCRATS not funding the spending they support..
You're so wrong, you don't even realize what you're railing against. The STATE has already been allocated funding, that is supplied in various payments for highway projects/improvements from the Dept. of Trans., Bunning is holding up a bill within which that funding is distributed. Ergo, HE IS HOLDING UP AND COSTING THE STATE $190 Million/day.
Next!
Also, ask Mr. Bunning how it is that he voted for EVERY single tax cut and deficit increase put before him between 2000 and 2008, and all of a sudden, then has a crisis of conscience and decides to start holding the purse strings, and causing thousands of employees to be laid off and hundreds of thousands of people to lose benefits, most due to his own incompetence and votes that got them there.
Some of you need to accept at some point and time the checkbook has got to be closed. At some point we are going to have to make very hard tough choices that will hurt but we dont have a money tree growing at the white house that we can keep picking from.
I wish democrats would care as much about the debt now as they did when Bush was in office
If Republicans would have cared more about the debt and the surplus the inherited instead of compromising America's national security by risky investments and tax cuts to those who didn't need them at a time when if the recession of '01 would have allowed some of the air to come out of the bubble we wouldn't be in the disaster we're in now.
I agree at some point the debit card has to go...I'm glad you're for increasing the capital gains tax, doing away with the Bush tax cuts, increasing the corp. tax and moving personal tax rates back to pre-1996 levels.
What...oh, those cuts you're not for?! I'm shocked I say...shocked!
So the state has to pay $190 million a day now to who?
Sounds to me like it's saving Uncle Sam $190 million a day.
