WASHINGTON – Republicans in the House Thursday blocked a bill that would have extended jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed beyond the holiday season. An extension of jobless benefits enacted this summer expires Dec. 1, and unless they are renewed, two million people will lose benefits averaging $310 a week nationwide by the end of December.

If the uploybenis go down the drain, will they qualify for welfare, and if so, if the nutsuckers then make a law that the upoly loosers cant get welfare can they in anyones mind claim it as a cut to the welfare system, without any actual slash and burn.

Hey, they're just giving the people what they want................tone.deaf.

They are evil people with no soul's.Only care about themselve's and their rich butt buddie's.

You know, it's really comforting to bitch about it, but what spending programs would you specifically like to cut so we stop tax and spend?

Would you like to do away with roadway maintenance? Airport security? Police and fire departments?

How about if we do away with Social Security?  You may not be drawing it now but how well will that sit with you when you are eligible?

So let me try to follow this, conservatives would be happy to extend benefits if only liberals stop spending.

But wouldn't extending benefits increase spending?

Conservative logic is a marvel to behold.

Yes, the liberals absolutely should not spend a nickel. Only the conservatives are allowed to do that. We've got a two-war million-dollar-a-day habit still ongoing and a few trillion in bailouts to pay multi-million dollar bonuses to top management scammers to prove it. So just -stop- it, liberals. And tough teddy about all those lost jobs and lost houses, but priorities is priorities.
