The demise of Democrats' jobs-agenda legislation means that unemployment benefits will phase out for more than 200,000 people a week. Governors who had counted on fresh federal aid will now have to consider more budget cuts, tax increases and layoffs of state workers.

What do they care. When they go home tonight, their families will have food on the table and their bills will be paid.
While they say they're fixing unemployment they have no idea whats going on. Like Employers cutting off applications when they get to 50 applicants and that they "pick and choose" from the best "mostly over qualified" and the little people are turned away with no way to pay their bills and feed they're families. With all the different ways congress throws our money away on things that have no real purpose or other things that can wait a while longer, they keep showing America that they could care less about helping America's families who put them where they are, and cater to America's richest corporations.
One thing is obvious and that is that they care a great deal about the many ways they can show their power by demonstrating that they can pettily disagree with each other just because they can.
Like I said - what do they care - their bills are paid and from the looks of'em, their also obviously well fed while the unemployed who have given up everything already have to add to the stress of how we are going to feed our families and keep a roof over our heads.
It seems that the one thing that is carefully thought through is how best to disagree. We have a very lame congress and I for one am very ashamed of both parties.
Exciting times and big changes are coming....... Unfortunately no buffalo left.
you're right as soon as the party of enablers is deballed. this one party anarchy has got to end.
hey dingy harry, you @!$%# ers are destroying the middle class purposely to set up your desired caste system. we are onto you radicals.
