Predictable–why would anyone expect Republicans to improve the economic picture–not just because it would hand Democrats good news, but because they have zero interest in the financial situation of anyone except their big $$ donors and backers–certainly that doesn't include the 'little people' who don't give to them anyway.

Senator Snowe's proposal appears to be a reasonable one. I think Democrats should compromise further and save the Unemployment Benefit Extension, which is literally life and death situation for many.

i challenge any senator that turned their back on the most vulnerable Americans by voting against bringing this vote to the floor.

If you have the courage, attend the next job fair and stand amongst your constituency. Identify yourself and tell them you refused to help them because you're concerned about the deficit.

If you are from a State whose senator did not support the millions of Americans in need, write them a letter and ask them to come to the next job fair.

Seems only right they should stand in front of those they seek to stand upon.

They won't do it, because they already have a vested interest in seeing Democrats fail, and by association, President Obama. Trouble is, the country fails also.
They don't care about “the small people”, as that BP exec put it. That much is clear. It's been their mantra for a year and a half.
I think it's clear how to vote come November.

I have worked all my life. I am 47 now. I was laid off November of 2008. These have been the toughest time in my life. I have lost my house, my job and I guess next my dignity, I am not use on depending on anyone or anything to put a roof over my families head but I did depend on my unemployment insurance to carry through these tough economic times til I could find work. I have paid into the system for over 30 years and have never asked for assistance. I knew from the start that this would not last forever but I also relied on what had been told to me about the additional tiers. I was on my second tier which ends tomorrow. Now I find out that there will be no more benefits available after this week. I like most have relentlessly looked for employment and would take anything offered to me but there is nothing. I can only wonder what all these people will do now that theirs is running out. I do know that most will then become dependent on their states to help causing even more of burden those already in financial strife. I know other will turn to crime or other immoral acts to support their families. I also know others will be so overwhelmed that they will take their own life as in the Great depression. I sit here now wondering which I will do. This is a sad day in American history and one we will all be judged on. I hope I can make the right decision but I really can't say for I am desperate.
This is no game this is for real! God Bless everyone even the ones that are so cruel on this blog for one day we will all answer for our words and actions.

If you haven't already, please sign the petitions and have the republicans responsible for our economy and then kicking you to the curb, kicked to the curb themselves.
