More proof that Republican'ts hate the every day American, but will shit themselves bending over for the rich.

@4 I have some level of respect for him until I learned that he's in cahoots with Sessions, who wants to tie passage of this bill to a reduction in estate tax for the ultra-rich. Obviously the $ is better spent on the unemployed, but I for one am sick of the fiscal profligacy in DC. They are just going to spend away until we are Greece. (maybe already are)....Government is very poor at pick and choosing activities to reward, and everyone wants their own activities and interests rewarded. so long as DC has a printing press this can go on a long, long time...until the Ponzi scheme blows sky high

The best part is, Jim Bunning is completely senile and has no idea if he's even sitting down or standing up.

The key is Democrats really need to do a better job of pointing the blame at the Republicans who are behind this and they have been doing this for many months. The first unemployment bill was delayed from the end of last summer until November by a similar tactic. You can see the comments on the newspaper are trying to use this by saying, look, see, the Senate cannot even get any of their business done do you want them running your healthcare?
If Democrats tried anything even remotely similar to this they would be totally trashed by the media and such, but the Seattle Times headline just yesterday implied that the Senate as a whole was to blame for no coming to an agreement. If has been clear since last year that Republicans want to do whatever they can do to truly fuck over Americans, then point to the Dem's who are in power and try to take back congress.
Republicans are unemployed too so their plan will most likely backfire big time.
