Merkley: Republicans Support Tax Cuts for the Wealthy but Block Assistance for the Unemployed

[MrBoy219]

I will never ever vote for a Republican again

@mikey3k I have run out of unemployment.. Can't get an extension because the Republicans keep holding it up... now they are going on a 2 week vacation again. and what are we suppose to do.. Go without food.. or sell our vehicle. so we can buy food. It really gets me upset when we have a war in Iraq and Afgan.. and the government finds a way to keep the funds going on.. but yet they cant take care of the people who are here in the US.. This is the frist time i have ever been unemployed .

@MrBoy219 I feel your pain, many people are unemployed and have never been unemployed before. It sucks, I hope they fix these benefits soon. Republicans just say that unemployment makes you lazy and that jobs are out there and that people are too lazy to work the low paying jobs. Well I say bullshit to that.
