A cloture vote was defeated this evening on extending unemployment benefits. It now goes to the senate for a vote and will pass handily. Frankly, I hope this is the last time this is done. I believe many people are taking advantage of this, in fact I know of one for sure. He sits on his butt, won't look for work and is drawing $300/wk unemployment. In addition, he draws $400/mo in food stamps so this guy is making #1200/mo and will not look for work until he no longer can draw unemployment.
