I think this doofus is the biggest lowlife in the Senate. He firmly stands behind making the bush tax cuts permanent but he's going to quibble about an extension of UI benefits, which is a miniscule compared to the cuts. His Whininess is so worried about adding the UI extension to the deficit.

Why do people vote for schmucks who work against their best interests? mcconnell might as well just come out and say that the working man doesn't matter. He's the gift that keeps on giving to those who don't need it.

"After thwarting efforts to raise taxes on America’s top earners, Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, predicted Sunday that Congress would retain the expiring Bush-era tax cuts for a limited number of years and might also extend unemployment benefits as part of a compromise with the White House...

...Mr. McConnell, interviewed on the NBC television program “Meet the Press,” flatly confirmed the outlines of that compromise. “I think we will extend unemployment compensation,” he said. The debate among lawmakers, he said, is “not about whether to do it but whether to pay for it as opposed to adding it to the deficit.”

...He would prefer to make the tax cuts permanent because the current, 10-year-old tax rate “is appropriate,” he said. But “the president won’t sign a permanent extension.”

Your title says it ALL!
 
As a self employed individual who is not eligable for unemployment, I find your title to be incorrect.

STFU libtards
 
The titlle is as disingenuous as its author~

Republicans are completely willing to extend UI benefits...SO LONG AS THEY ARE PAID FOR!~

Wasn't it the botox queen herself, ms. bobble-headed-Pelosi who promised no spending unless it is paid for???

Typical BS from the master, blame the victim.

So tell me why it's going to be more costly in the long run to extend UI, than to extend the bush tax cuts?

Well, enough of the pinhead lies....

Republicans have been open to an extension of unemployment, but they have wanted Democrats to cover the cost with cuts elsewhere. Hatch said on CNN that the GOP is ready to budge on that as well, but may not be willing to extend Obama’s Make Work Pay tax credit.
“Let’s take care of the unemployment compensation, even if it isn’t backed up by real finances, we’ve got to do it,” he said “If you want to go beyond that, things are going to break down.”

This news is already 2 days old.....
 
And


Republicans want all of the tax cuts extended permanently, saying raising taxes in a recession is poor economic policy.
“Neither side has the votes to get what they want,” Hatch said. “I think we are going to have to kick it over for about two years.”
Obama is willing to do that but has sought to tie an extension of the Bush tax cuts to an extension of unemployment insurance, which expired Tuesday. He also wants to add a renewal of his signature Make Work Pay tax credit that was part of the economic stimulus bill.


So maybe a deal is in the works...

We're talking about mcconnell, and you didn't answer the question.

Why is it going to be more costly in the long run to extend UI, than to extend the bush tax cuts?

So you're talking about McConnell

He is saying essentially the same thing...or can't you read....


Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, predicted Sunday that Congress would retain the expiring Bush-era tax cuts for a limited number of years and might also extend unemployment benefits as part of a compromise with the White House...

I can read perfectly well. He's not worried about the deficit when it refers to the bush tax cuts, but he is worried about it when it comes to extending UI.

I'm asking you because you're a worthy representative of those who blame the victims for circumstances beyond their control, as you did in #6.

As I did in post 6???
Me????

Didn't you just confirm we're talking about McConnell?

My post in 6 makes that perfectly clear...

You really do have a reading problem, huh ?

He said.....

, is “not about whether to do it but whether to pay for it as opposed to adding it to the deficit.”

That is the choice, is it not ?
Pay for it, of add it to the deficit....
He's just stating a simple fact, that you seem not to understand....

Did he say he was "worried" about something?

Simply stated....Our problem is not low taxes, our problem is high spending.

Even pinhead Democrats admit to that fact, they just want to continue the class warfare they been pushing for the last hundred years.

In #6 you said "mcconnell is no friend of those who won't work". In other words, those on UC are choosing not to work.

And you still haven't offered an opinion on why repubs are worried about UC adding to the deficit, but not the tax cuts.

If the tax cuts expire will that add to or subtract from the deficit?
