Maybe we should just take everyone who exhausts their unemployment benefits outside and give them a bullet to the head (paid for the by the state of course!). That way we lower the unemployment rate and fix the problem. I mean if we are going to be heartless and say screw you to people in hardship then we should make sure to be really heartless.
ps. This was a snark
Now for some seriousness, this bill was a 30 day extension in which the cost is very small relative to what the government spends. The 30 days will hopefully allow congress to work out details of a new better bill. Of course this would require the ability to move on bills without having to defeat a filibuster every 30 minutes.
