Unemployment Benefits Expire For Thousands

Trillions for banks, war and Israel, while the Senate disappears for a week without giving a few hundred to desperate families.

"Extended unemployment benefits will temporarily expire for thousands of Americans on Monday because the Senate went on its spring recess without approving a one-month deadline extension.
The extension, which had bipartisan support, would have cost about $10 billion, but a lone Republican, Sen. Tom Coburn, said no until the costs are offset."


Here's the pompous shitbag droning the "government isn't the answer" garbage to a desperate crying woman. To him and his filthy ilk, government's job is to bail out the wealthy, and people like her, you and me can just shut the hell up.

Who are the morons that clap on cue at these damn political meetings? Are they getting paid to clap on cue or what? Just what the hell were they clapping about?

Look at the bearded man in white shirt in the row ahead at point .43 of the video. Look at the way he exchanges a look of disgust with the man in blue shirt with his back to the woman.

That about says it all about America.

When it comes to representing the people, reptilian filth like this unctuous piece of shit default to the "govt is the problem" mantra.

When it comes to doing the bidding of corporations, he keeps his kneepads in his back pocket.
