With Democrats like these, Who needs Republicans?

Democrats propose 6-week cut in jobless benefits

By ANDREW TAYLOR | Associated Press – 4 hrs ago

. . .The Democratic proposal would allow unemployed people to receive a maximum 93 weeks of benefits in states with the highest jobless rates, rather than the 99 weeks permitted now. Republicans want to cut 20 weeks from the maximum benefit

Have we seriously gotten to the point where the only debate is over how much to screw the long-term unemployed?  Yes. Yes we have.

 

Hey, Democrats, Republicans, Fuck you both!
