From Fox News: "Republicans immediately tried to pass a one-month extension of unemployment benefits that would have been fully paid for with unallocated stimulus funds. But Democrats objected."

The Democrats wanted to pass a bill that would have raised taxes on small business and save government jobs. It would have also extended unemployment benefits. The GOP filibustered this bill in part of raising the taxes and how the bill would be paid.
So, the GOP then put up a single bill that just extend unemployment compensation and the Dem's refused to go along.
So, the next time the Democrats say they are for the unemployed, forget about it. The unemployed are just political pawns to the so called compassionate liberals.
