Do I think the Democrats are motivated by altruism in their pursuit to extend the unemployment benefits? For the most part, no; they're only interested in doing what it takes to keep their seats, just like the Republicans.

But at least the Democrats are making the unemployed a priority, as they should. The only source of income just got cut off for people who don't know how they're going to pay their bills this month, much less buy Christmas presents for their kids. Tax cuts can wait.


Why should the tax cut EXTENSIONS wait? The republicans have the leverage now, if they dont use it, they may not get it passed. This game is played everyday, with high stakes that affect you and I much more than it affects them. The republicans believe that extending the tax cuts is the right thing to do. Not just for the rich, for everyone. I, for one, don't approve of raising ANYONES taxes until Washington gets its act together and cuts spending.....

The truth of the matter is this is a game to both parties. The only thing at stake for them is their seats.
