Unemployment Extension and Tax Bill Update

Unemployment benefits extension: What happens now?

"With the Christmas recess and the seating of a new Congress looming, the Senate will kick off what should be a make-or-break week for the prospect of extending unemployment benefits and tax cuts by holding a cloture vote at 3 pm on Monday." - reports the Michigan Messenger.

"It is expected that the cloture vote — that’s the vote to end debate and take the real vote — will succeed and so will the bill, which now includes the full compromise reached by President Obama and Republican leaders to extend all of the Bush tax cuts for two years and federal unemployment benefits for one year."
