Great Job, Senator Bunning

3.3.10 by LucasWBSmith

Last night the Senate was preparing to vote to extend unemployment benefits for 30 days. Sounds like a good idea right? Apparently not, Senator Bunning of Kentucky used parliamentary procedure to sink the bill. His argument was that no one is considering how to pay for unemployment benefits, so he decided to leave thousands of Americans hanging in the wind. Have we really gotten to the point where fiscal conservatives are sacrificing the well being of the average American for political points?

It certainly seems so.

The recent halt to unemployment benefits has left 400,000 Americans  without income. That means 400,000 will be unable to afford the basic neccessities. WAY TO GO BUNNING!  Additionally, 7 states have been hit especially hard.

And guess what? Heeeeeeeeeeee is back! Thats right, Senator Bunning is back on the floor holding up the passage of the bill again, hopefully this time he won’t last.

The solution is obvious, get Bunning to leave the room. THAT IS ALL THEY HAVE TO DO. Bunning just has to leave to pee and bang we have unemployment benefits.

The worst part is that the Democrats talked the talk threatening to stay on the floor till the bill is passed. But Bunning call them on their bluff and the DEMOCRATS ended the session. THEY JUST GAVE UP. Its time for the Democrats to stop just talking and start walking. Not just on unemployment benefits, but in general. They must stop compromising and start doing.

Apparently, members of Congress have staged an intervention to help Bunning with his obsessive need to object.

I believe that eventually Bunning will stop and it will be renewed. But why did this even happen? We shouldn’t be debating on whether or not to leave Americans with out income. It should be so simple. The good news is that Senator Bunning is retiring at the end of his term. Probably a good idea because I doubt he would get reelected, since 3,181 of his constituents just lost their benefits.
