The Senate adjourned Friday without approving extensions of cash and health insurance benefits for the unemployed after a lone senator blocked swift passage due to his insistence that Congress first pay for the $10 billion package. Retiring Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Kentucky, led a spirited Senate debate with Democrats over the issue -- at one time cursing at another senator on the floor. Bunning said he doesn't oppose extending the programs -- he just doesn't want to add to the deficit.
Finally someone got the memo that we shoud save! The democrats in the senate want to continue spending money. Im all in support of extending unemployment benefits but how will we when the whole country is going bankrupt. Our country is in so much debt that it will effect not only my kids but my grandkids as well. Why keep spending money?! its retarded. I think the senate needs to have some cheap ass college students and figure out the cheapest way to do things and the best way to save money.
