Business As Usual

I am unsure whether this is a good bill or not.

A beleaguered bill to extend benefits for the long term unemployed stalled on Capitol Hill Tuesday, when the Senate voted 45-52 to block the $140 billion catchall bill that also would delay a Medicare fee cut, extend a hodgepodge of expiring tax cuts, and other provisions that Democrats say will help stimulate job growth.

If it were a Repuglican offer there would not have been one of them who would have voted against it for the most part. Here there were 11 Dems who did.

My point is that when those affected by the gusher line up for theirs what side are these politicians gonna be on?

If anyone thinks BP will cover all of that bill and what's coming down and out the pipe you are thinking incorrectly.

Meanwhile the gusher continues to gush and there isn't shit in the news about that this morning.
