Stimulate THIS, Asshats

Although extensions to unemployment benefits are one of the simplest and most proven methods of injecting money into the economy, Senate Republicunts, following the hissy fit of their lame duck Pretzeldunce, have refused to even let it come up for a vote.
What Bullfuckingshit:

The fate of $600-$1,200 rebate checks for more than 100 million Americans is in limbo after Senate Democrats failed Wednesday to add $44 billion in help for the elderly, disabled veterans, the unemployed and big business to the House-passed economic aid package.Republicans banded together to block the $205 billion plan from advancing Wednesday, leaving Democrats with a difficult choice either to quickly accept a House bill they have said is inadequate or risk being blamed for delaying a measure designed as a swift shot in the arm for the lagging economy.
"The president has made it clear that he doesn't want that extension of unemployment benefits,'' Republican Senator John Thune said.
This just further demonstrates what is really important to the Rethuglicans. Tax breaks for the rich, fuck the poor.
Straight talking maverick and annointed Republicunt frontrunner, John McInsane voted present “was focused on other stuff,”and didn't bother to show up for the vote.
