Unemployment insurance extension vote

WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation extending unemployment insurance for the long-term jobless faces a key test vote in the Senate, its momentum helped by about 60 popular tax breaks for individuals and businesses that expired at the end of last year.
The measure also prevents doctors from absorbing a crippling cut in Medicare payments, extends health insurance subsidies for the unemployed and gives cash-starved states help with Medicaid, the federal-state program providing health care to the poor and disabled.

I wish these slime balls in Washington stop attaching BS to a single bill and just let the bill go through on its OWN merits....but they dont.....
or, better yet, there should be a "line item veto" that wont be disputed........
