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!
