Republican proposals to pay for the measure failed and the cost will be covered by borrowing that adds to the deficit -- an approach Democrats said was justified in difficult times.

what difficult times? obama came down off his mountain top and told us that the stimulous worked...and the fools rejoiced..... so what i want to know is did the stimulous work as promised? he still says its working new jobs are being created everyday...so why the need to extend benefits?

"Perhaps the overwhelming majority of Republicans think that since they've turned their backs on the unemployed for so many months, what's another few days?" Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said. "Perhaps they think that when unemployment goes up, their poll numbers do too."

Conservatives just want it payed for somehow....obumbler and the regime are spending it faster than they can print it....i want a brand new Ford f-450 but i cant buy one because i cant afford to pay for it.......our government is the only group that can get away with spending what they dont have .....so much for that deficit reduction barry promised us.........

Concerns over the deficit, which is on track to match last year's record level of $1.4 trillion, have sidelined many Democratic job-creation efforts this year.

Ok guys i dont understand this one.....they arent gonna create jobs because of the deficit....so its cheaper to pay someone NOT to work? Big B, or Hiroad can u make any sense of that statement..............notice the RECORD level deficit under the dems control......again barry promised to cut this...i did hear a clip of barry saying that the government couldnt continue to spend  the way they did under the Bush years......good thing barry and the boyz figured out how to outspend the Bush administration

As I've said before...The whitehouse and congress are either totally incompetent, or knowingly trying to destroy our country and culture.  We are now governed by madmen.
