Ratigan starts out ripping the GOP for holding up unemployment benefits with their pipeline language

He was going real good for a while. He actually started to sound righteous for a minute or two. And then he finishes up with, "And the Dems do the same thing too." Ugh. I have never seen Dems hold up unemployment benefits for those out of work with one of their pet projects during my lifetime.

What a prick.

No, we don't tie pipelines to unemployment but we definately engage in the general practice. Hell, I have tactically favored it but it is a problem and allows for all kinds of posturing and excuse making and worse for poison pills by the truckload.

There was more context than seems to be accounted for here.
