40 republican senators told 2.5 million unemployed they didn't care about them

[spanone]

....again.

yet they want tax breaks for the wealthy to continue....

how can this party continue to exist?

how do any voters continue to support them?

perplexing.

34b for unemployment vs 600+b for tax cuts for the rich. They want the 34b covered so it doesn't add to the deficit....and to hell with covering the 600+b. Just more hypocrisy from the crazy right wing.

9. You will need a 2x4. I have been pounding on

PS they still bitch about taxes and want those tax breaks for the rich..and these folks are not making over 70g let alone that 250 tax bracket and they are never going to be rich unless they win a lotto..
Those tax breaks do not help me..since I am at the 10g income level..

Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins crossed from the repuke side. Their seats must be up for re-election

[Tippy]
