The latest debacle with the
unemployment ins. extension is a prefect example. Two Republican senators
voted for the money for desperate people. One Democrat voted against it.


The GOP just wanted to pay for the extra benefits, not borrow more
money.
The Democrats said, in the whole 2.38 trillion dollar budget, they
couldn't find a way to cut $33 billion from something to make this
revenue neutral.
Just a suggestion, that is about a month of what we are ****ing away
in Afghanistan.

The fact is that the GOP is quite willing to let the rich have their tax
breaks without any cuts elsewhere, but when it comes to people who are
struggling, they have to be funded by cutting something.

Afg. has nothing to do with denying family's their ability to feed their
kids.
