As the people who see a red-under-every-bed will tell you, this is a commie scheme to destroy America as we know it.

What they forget is that America as we know it is built on the backs of solid, working Americans, who are now hurting without jobs. Who now have to make decisions about food or medicine, because while spouting "who will pay for it" GOP is gladly paying for the tax-cut for the richest Americans while denying unemployment benefits.

They forget that 100% of the unemployment benefit will be spent right here in America, acting as a stimulus and pumping the money back into the economy.

Extending this benefit is a patriotic duty of Congress. Good thing they finally came to their senses, and shame on the 40 senators who voted against it.
