Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken today urged the Senate to pass an extension of unemployment and COBRA benefits before the end of the year, citing the 10 percent unemployment rate and the annual rise in heating bills coming this winter.

Obama’s magic printing press will keep the dollars coming.
Cold late night so long ago
When I still had a job you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so true
You know I could not run away
It seemed we’d seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me, yeah
“Come on home, girl” he said with a smile
“You don’t have to love me yet
Let’s get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
I’m Barack the magic man.”
Winter nights we sang in tune
Nancy P barked at the moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Summer spending passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she’s worried
Going broke in a hurry, yeah
“Come on home, girl” mama cried on the phone
“Too soon to lose my baby and my girl should be at home!”
“But try to understand, try to understand
Try try try to understand
He’s a magic man, mama, ah ...
He’s a magic man”
They’re all about paying people NOT to be productive, so why not. Makes sense.
Just get it from Obama’s “stash”.
