bottom line ... people will go hungry and lose their homes.

[arizona1]

what i understand is that the repubs just required that the $30 or $40 billion come from the unspent stimulus slush fund

How's this happy0206???????

Republicans suck and are heartless creatures that deserve to go hungry and homeless.!!!! Over a million people will lose their life line in just a couple of days, lose their homes and be on the street with their kids. Just another day in paradise for the creepy crawly monsters of the night called republicans and Ben Nelson.

Can you imagine how terrified these people must be?

It's nice to know that you live comfortably on SS and probably a pension from the government but many young families are just hanging on by a thread and now that thread has been cut to shreds.

Glad you'll sleep well tonight hap..py0206!

hap, you almost got it there. The Republicans did not like all of the add ons to the bill. They made the offer to use the unused stimulus funds to solely extend the jobless benefits for the next month, so more work could be done on the bill and the Dems shot that down. In this case, if you are one of the people losing your jobles benefits, know it was the Dems that caused it.

The real question is and we have seen it from both sides of the aisle, why can DC not face such important immediate issues without having to add on all kinds of crap that needs to be taken care of on its own merits?
