Yeah, that much I've figured out. Maybe you, or someone can help me understand how this works.

The unemployment extension thing has been renewed (every 6 months), without a problem for a couple of years now. Your respective state pays for initial benefits, then the feds pick up the emergency extensions.

When it needed to be renewed in December, it got approved by congress without a hitch. And that's where I kinda lose track of it. I've been researching on the Senate website, and I'm not sure what happened.

I guess I need to take a refresher course in Government, I haven't had one since high school.

Can anyone help me understand how this amendment got tacked on with a gun bill, and why?

Thanks.
