Also, I wanna say this article is out of date. They approved tax cuts for all and extending unemployment for 13 months.

They didnt approve it - yet. Its in the works, but nothing's been officially approved/passed. I just claimed the last of my initial 26 weeks unemployment benefits today. Normally Id go into Federal unemployment tier 1. Right now, its limbo. Fortunately NJ has a 20 week emergency compensation, so i -should- still be covered until the bill passes. Right now, Democrats are bitter because of all the concessions made for the republican tax breaks, and the dems are threatening to filibuster the bill, which will put the entire unemployed population in danger till the end of January, when more republicans take over.
|
So... the Democrats, who tried to make it so only the middle tax cuts were debated first because they saw it as such a devestating issue for the republicans to hold it up as to screw them politically... are now holding those up AND unemployment?
What the hell is wrong with democratic leadership?

Samething that is wrong with the whole goverment. Self Interest and wanting to take credit for anything good that happens even if they had nothing to do with it.
|
That's not even self interest though... they're literally doing something that days ago was their plan to beat republicans... and throwing in unemployment too...
I mean, if they block it, they've literally given the Republicans the tagline of "The Democrats raised taxes on all americans and stopped the extension for unemployment rights."
It'd be like for example... "Don't ask don't tell" was found unconstiutional and defeated by a Republican group... the log cabin republicans. (Or GOProud... one of the two.)
It'd be like if the democrats in response to that, passed an ammendment that made gay's in the military unconsitutional.
What's the point?
