Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says - CSMonitor.com

Senate Republicans pledge not to take up any issues, including extending unemployment benefits, until the Bush tax cuts and federal spending bills are sorted out.

Unemployment benefits extended in tax-cut deal

MinnPost - Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

Unemployment benefits extension avoids holiday cutoff for 2 million Americans, says White House, which agreed to extend Bush-era tax cuts for everyone, including the rich.

The inaction means the imminent loss of unemployment compensation for some 800,000 out-of-work Americans, with nearly 2 million long-term unemployed expected to be affected by Jan. 1, according to the Labor Department.
US Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, speaking Wednesday at a press conference organized by Democratic congressional leaders, said that by next spring, another 6 million unemployed workers will lose benefits if Congress does not act. “Millions of families are going to struggle to put food on the table or put gas in the gas tank,” she said.

U.S. Senate Extends Bush Tax Cuts | Sunshine State News

Besides extending the Bush tax cuts, the deal passed by the Senate -- which was backed by the White House and Republican leadership -- extends unemployment benefit funds to the states for another 13 months.

Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl has raised eyebrows by insisting that emergency aid to unemployed people -- what he called a "necessary evil"

It's Unanimous! GOP Says No To Unemployment Benefits, Yes To Tax Cuts For The Rich

To be sure, a few moderate Republicans have supported the idea of extending unemployment benefits without paying for them. But, as Kyl implied, they are the distinct minority.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I've pointed out that Republicans held millions of American hostage by theatening their unempoloyment benefits unless the rich get their tax cuts. These right wingers have been calling me a liar.

GO ahead. Prove what happened a few months ago didn't.

And please, run on the idea that helping unemployed Americans (who, according to Republicans, could be under cover drug addicts) is nasty socialism. Use that in your campaign. How would you phrase it? al Qaeda uses "death to America". What should Republicans use? Because if Americans helping Americans is a "bad thing", then why are we defending America? When Americans stop helping Americans, then America ceases to be. Is that really the Republican goal?

Don't you lefties get dizzy with all the spin? Obama extended the Bush tax cuts 12/17/10 (for two years)while democrats still held the majority in congress.

 

[JoeB131]

so essentially, another case where Obama Got rolled, and you are proud of this?

The problem I see here is that this guy doesn't know how to play the game, and when he gets snookered, he whines.

 

[rdean]

Don't you lefties get dizzy with all the spin? Obama extended the Bush tax cuts 12/17/10 (for two years)while democrats still held the majority in congress.

Except where 41 beats 59. You know that, right?

You know that just because Democrats didn't get enough Republican votes doesn't mean Republicans are off the hook. The truth is Republican leaders screw the middle class over and over again but their base keeps saying it's not true. The Republican base is part of the middle class. They include those that are getting screwed. But they hate Obama. Too black.

Ancient history Dean. That kind of historical stuff is only remembered by the right if Dems did it.

Is the same old Tired Race argument really all you have?

It doesn't mean republicans are off the hook? What does that mean? Don't give me the old knee jerk cliches about screwing various segments of society. Why the democrat majority send the bill to the president and why the hell did Barry sign the bill? Because it was a good idea?

You LIBTARDS are really getting a little ridiculous in your all out desperation!

Your linked article is dated Dec. 1, 2010--and the new congress wasn't seated until Jan. 21, 2011. Meaning that DEMOCRATS held all THREE houses at the time--with a super majority and could have easily extended unemployment benefits at that time.

Are you really that desperate to go back 10 months--pull something out of your ass and make a new thread about something that's already been fixed--and try to make it LOOK like it is today's news.



This is what I think of your thread---

I am so fucking sick of your racist ass. EVERYTHING that is anti-Obama comes down to race for you.

To you, if someone dislikes an Obama policy, they dislike it because Obama is black. Doesn't matter if they have a legitimate issue with the policy, it's 'really' because Obama is black

I think the problem is that YOU hate Obama because he is black, and are too much of a chicken shit to show it, so you transfer that hatred onto everyone else.

You make me sick, you racist little dick-drip.

Who is this they that will not admit that?

By the way, unemployed Americans do not need endless unemployment benefits, they need jobs. If you are really worried about helping them why aren't you demanding the Democrats deliver a real job plan instead of sitting around waiting for the Republicans to do something they can shoot down? Why aren't you demanding that Obama do something besides play political games with Republicans in order to look good for the base?

What part of compromise dont you understand? Compromise means both sides agree to an outcome before a passage. For as much as the left accuse the right of not compromising, we'd think that you might grasp the concept of what the word means. Besides.....this is old news, did you see the other day where Obammies approval rating hit an all time low?
