You forgot to mention that the Dems added 55 billion dollars in earmarks (Pork) to this bill, (talk about record profits) Who is benefiting from these profits? Ask Reid, Boxer and Peterson and their contributors. If they just dropped the pork it would fund 55 billion of the 56 billion needed to extend the unemployment benefits. Way to look out for the "little people". Not. The new Congress will not pass this so I hope it fails. If it does fail the new Congress will extend the tax cuts without the pork, so let it fail, let it fail, let it fail............
