Jim Bunning never said he did not support the extension of these unemployment benefits. In fact, he does support the extension.

What he asked the Democrat majority to do was fund it in such a way that it did not add directly to our absurd National Debt, which may be $2 trillion this year.

He suggested that it be paid for by some of the "Stimulus Package" money that has yet to been spent. There is plenty of money there, perhaps half of the $800 billion allowed remains unspent.

There was plenty of time to discuss the problems, but Harry Reid seems to like to wait until 11:00 on Friday nights and then force the Senators to act in despiration. Reid is an absolutely rotten leader.
