But in August and September when my benefits ran out and I struggled with the lack of Congressional action on the unemployment benefits extension both Democratic leaders and McConnell, Kyl, Hatch and the Republican genius brigade said there would be no problem addressing unemployment benefit extensions and then THEY held it up. Do for Reid's office to say this will be addressed is total BS. The Repubs will still be filibustering health care reform and we'll never see the benefits extended because none of the senators -- including the Democrats really even though they give good speeches -- actually give a damn. so, thanks for nothing Congress. who elected you anyway, I forget. Oh yeah, lobbyists and special interests you take care of tut sweet while I have no food next Thursday, you know Thanksgiving, where we give thanks for all we have in this great nation. “he office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has signaled that Democratic leaders will address the deadline glitch before Congress adjourns for the year.”
