All Republican senators -- 40 of them -- and one Democrat, Ben Nelson, of Nebraska, voted to block extension of federal unemployment insurance. The following is a list of all 41 members of the Senate who have turned the lives of millions of Americans upside down because of their cold-hearted, out-of-touch reality. For those unemployed; Never forget these names. They are the ones who caused your lives to spiral even more than they already have. And especially, don't forget their names the next time they're up for re-election

KY already has enough shitty Senators as it is.

:applause:

More stimulus is needed

yet the GOP can't bear the Nixonian 'we're all Keynesians now' conclusion or formula

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynesian_formula

"In scientific notation, the Keynesian Formula consists of the following make-up:

C + I + G + X − M = Y(GDP)

which means:

Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Exports − Imports = Gross Domestic Product"

When C, I, and X-M are in the negative, only G -- the government is LEFT (!) to do anything to increase Y --the GDP.

Kevin Phillip's book Wealth and Democracy
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Kevin_Phillips/Wealth_Democracy.html

and Chalmers Johnson's article Can We End The American Empire, Before It Ends Us ?
http://www.alternet.org/story/51975/... See More

both come to the same conclusion, but from different perspectives. The concentration of wealth in the richest 1% will eventually end our US economic empire and our democracy, if we allow it to continue this way.

I hate the sob. Hope we can get rid of him.

...how if the vote is 57 yeas to 41 nays it is defeated? I honestly don't get that.

Instead it is Fillibustered, like every other important vote that has taken place since Obama took office. Let me simplify the list for you also, it consists of EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN and 1 democrat (Ben Nelson).

The idea is to Fillibuster every thing, so that nothing can be accomplished until a Republican is back in office.

through with out Republicans?

in the Senate. Without it the bill could die. There is no cloture to end debate and bring it to the floor. They vote on that. When they don't get it. They can continue debate or move on to something elses. The republicans and Nelson are locked in to a "no" to even bring it to a passage vote. The bill doesn't get a chance.

That's why we should work tirelessly to elect Democrats in 2010 and beyond.

The GOP just doesn't understand arithmetic. The equation has to be balanced; only "G", government, can do it.

reid's name is on there too. he led the big give up. is anyone suprised they filibustered? no. i want to be suprised that harry caved. i want to think that my kids are worth more than his long weekend. i want not a pony, but i would take a job taking care of one. guess it's this administrations job to break the will, the next administration will sell us on a blatant corporate scheme.
