H.R. 4213 passed the Senate with the required simple majority vote of 59 for and 39 against this evening. The motion reached the critical mass of support necessary to concur the legislation with the Reid-Baucus Substitute Amendment S.4425. It will return to the House to be voted on tomorrow. Quick passage is anticipated, with the President’s signature to follow. Millions of unemployed Americans can begin to breathe a sigh of some relief as the House addresses this issue. Continuation of unemployment extensions looks extremely promising.

The Democratic Leadership held a news conference this afternoon announcing the vote for unemployment extensions will come Tuesday morning after the appointment for Senator Byrd’s replacement is sworn in.
Millions of unemployed Americans stuck in limbo, awaiting Governor Manchin. The Governors key appointment will likely bring the necessary number of votes to bring cloture to one the unemployment extension bills awaiting the Senate, H.R. 4213 Jobs Creation and Closing Tax Loopholes Act blocked by Senate Republicans, or H.R. 5618 Emergency Restoration of Unemployment Extensions.

Once again, the Republican Party refused America’s unemployed the substance needed to survive during the worst recession in history.
With the Senate in gridlock over financial reform efforts to provide relief for the long-term unemployed appear to be nowhere in sight. With thousands of jobless Americans exhausting the unemployment extensions and regular benefits, it would seem that with financial reform stalled in the Senate, Congress could focus a little attention on the jobless situation.
With the Senate minority dragging their feet over nominations, and arguing against Financial Reform hopes are fading that the Senate will have time to introduce any additional aid in the form of unemployment extensions for the nations long-term unemployed.
As frustrating a situation as being unemployed is, and a job market not available to millions of unemployed American’s, thousands are waking up this morning to more bad news,
Recent inquiries have not returned any good news for those unemployed Americans that have or will very soon expire their unemployment extensions under the existing plan.

There is an extreme amount of confusion and worry regarding the unemployment compensation benefits both, regular and emergency extensions. The main point of confusion is due to the wishy-washy behavior regarding pending legislation in part, if not in whole, via Republican Party’s firm stance of seeing both this administration and economy fail.
