The first vote failed, 52 to 48, on a measure proposed by the Democratic leadership that would have extended benefits for 11 months. The extension would have been largely financed by continuing a 2 percent cut to Medicare health providers for an additional year, through 2024. The second vote, on the original bill, which would have extended benefits for three months at a cost of $6.4 billion, failed 55 to 45.

If it fails in the Senate, it's the Democrats' fault (fear of 2014? LOL!).

This is good.

The leftist Democrats want unemployment incentives in perpetuity so they can avoid creating jobs, and continue overthrowing the US with their silly Socialism.
