The House and Senate will vote next week on another continuing resolution to fund the government through mid-December, but Democratic leaders have not yet decided whether to move the bill separately or combine it with other legislation.
Only four of the 12 spending bills for the fiscal year that started Oct. 1 have made it to President Obama's desk for his signature. Action is necessary next week because the continuing resolution now in place expires Oct. 31. A senior House Republican aide said the new resolution is likely to fund the government until Dec. 15.
In addition to dealing with a continuing resolution, the Senate next week is likely to pass a bill that would extend the eligibility period for unemployment benefits. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., filed for cloture on the bill Wednesday night. While an earlier agreement was possible, GOP Senate aides suggested work on the package was not likely before Tuesday.
The bill would allow an additional 14 weeks of jobless pay in all states, with an additional six weeks in states with unemployment rates above 8.5 percent.
These people are totally worthless, completely and totally worthless. It is DIRE out here in realityland.
