Unemployment Benefits Updated

The Senate failed to pass legislation to extend unemployment benefits for over 1.4 million Americans. The Legislators have decided that bickering over the bill and holding to party lines is more important then resolving this issue. The Congress had over a year to resolve the issues with this piece of legislation. They can't even agree to extend the benefits for three months while they try to reach a resolution to this problem. These actions show a total disregard for the Americans that are without any kind of resources to support themselves or their families. The issues that are being discussed have validity and need to be resolved, but not at the expense of these unfortunate people. The time to act is now but the indicators show that this may not be the case.
