In a continuing effort to block just about any legislation at all, the Senate Republicans are trying to block the unemployment extension by tactical means. They are filing a batch of motions design to delay it as long a possible. Apparently they feel they can make some kind of political gains by starving Americans who are unemployed.
The GOP lives in a fantasy land where people do not seek jobs because they are rolling in government money. If you have ever collected unemployment it is hardly a windfall, and without it many people are falling below subsistence level. Though the GOP feels there are plenty of jobs out there, apparently they have never had to actually search for a job.
Write your GOP Senator and tell him or her to stop diddling and get this relief bill passed now!
