Extending Unemployment Benefits Hostage to Bush Tax Cut Extention

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/28/opinion/28sun1.html?_r=1&hp

The so called deficit hawks won't help out the unemployed unless we extend the Bush tax cuts which blow the deficit sky high. They argue that the unemployed choose to be unemployed in order to collect benefits. The fact that there are 5 job seekers for every job opening is just another inconvenient fact that can be safely ignored. The Dem's have to put a line in the sand on this or they will see more erosion in their base.
