CNN - Politics: Reports the following from the Capital, " ..Democratic and Republican lawmakers will charge right into the first partisan showdown of the year: extending jobless benefits for 1.3 million long-term unemployed. ".
Lets Get Real:
This blog has been thinking about this latest policy conflict on Capital Hill, on the political and policy merits the Republicans should ONLY grant a three month extension of this jobless benefits scheme, the Democrats do not care about the jobless, this is ALL political, ObamaCare has been a disaster, and its on going a disaster, thus the Democrats return to class warfare as a campaign strategy. The Republicans should take the issue off the table, its rough during the Winter months, you can see the Democrats and the elite liberal press bring out SAD stories, people thrown OUT on the street in the snow, yes get the sad music out, life is not fair that is from JFK. The Republicans should grant the extension on the understanding that its ONLY three months, no more, no clause for further extensions. The Republicans should keep to one issue, that is ObamaCare, bring out stories of the nearly seven million people who have lost healthcare, how people have found that ObamaCare is to expensive if your in the Middle Class. The Republicans should not allow the Democrats to define the 24/7 news cycle. Time for Republicans to be SMART.
