How Utterly Predictable

Republicans are with so-called "extended" unemployment compensation. More fucking stalling while people worry about whether they can get onto the next tier, and there should be ANOTHER tier for those who are in danger of using up their entire 99 weeks.

Senate Republicans are blocking speedy passage of a stopgap bill to extend jobless benefits, saying its $9 billion cost should not be added to the national debt.

The clash comes less than a month after Republicans shied away from a similar battle that led to an interruption in unemployment benefits eligibility for some people and a two-day furlough for some Transportation Department employees.

Again, no Tier Five or additional weeks on Tier IV is being proposed.
