[quote:Anonymous Coward 46552577:MV8yNDU0ODMzXzQyMjYwODg3X0VCNEQ2RjA=] http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/10/us-unemployment-benefits-extension-hits-snag-in-senate/?intcmp=latestnews FROM ARTICLE: Senate Democrats’ plan to extend long-term jobless benefits has hit political turbulence after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pushed a reworked version but blocked Republicans from offering any changes. Another Senate vote is tentatively scheduled for next week. Any legislation that clears the Senate would also have to pass the House, where Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said he is only willing to consider an extension of the expired program that is fully paid for.

Democrats and Republicans are at it again...this time playing around with the American unemployment benefits.
I am really upset to hear this, but I am not surprised!
Republicans say they will not vote to extend the jobless benefits, unless Democrats can offset this with other cuts in spending. They will not increase the budget deficit.
Well,that is just fine dandy if you are a rich politician; however, if you are one of the many unemployed Americans, it is will be HELL.
They depend on these benefits to feed their families. They recieve around $300 a week, and they began to see their checks disappear at the end of December. The benefits have not been extended for the year of 2014.
To add to the chaos, many key voters have not been able to make it to Washington because of the weather.
I pray this issue gets resolved soon, and that our leaders play around with THEIR money...NOT the money of jobless Americans!
