So looks like the Dems caved to the GOP, cutting long term unemployment benefits [View all]

Unbelievable, after all the talk about "99ers" and how they still desperately needed help in todays economy, now the Democrats caved to the republicans in cutting down even more long term unemployment benefits from 99 weeks to 73 weeks. Way to go! (sarcasm) How could they give in to these slime dwellers, especially on this important issue of help to the long term unemployed. Very sad that even controlling the presidency and the Senate, which is more than half the power, the Democrats can't muster enough to draw a line in the sand and tell the GOP to go to hell instead of bending once again.
