Sure, a group of Senators have agreed to a plan to extend unemployment benefits by another five months, but there's really no guarantee that Republicans in the House will, you know, do their job and pass that extension.

Those Republicans are apparently all for forking over billions of dollars to an unelected government in Ukraine, but when it comes to helping out unemployed Americans, they're suddenly up in arms screaming about the debt and the deficit.

If you think this is insane, you're not alone.


I just don't understand how our government can support the thuggery that has over taken the past elected government of Ukraine. The crap that parliament has done is unconstitutional by their own standards and yet our great nation, the global spokesperson for democracy, supports it.
