Unemployment benefits are about to expire for 33,000 Kentuckians and 67,000 Hoosiers, and its starting to look like the Republicans will let them expire next month.
The Bush tax cuts will also expire next month and the President wants them extended ONLY for individuals earning less than $200,000 and couples earning $250,000 (these people will still pay reduced taxes on amounts less than that, just that amounts greater than that will be taxed at the old rate). To do what the Republicans want, to keep the tax cuts across the board, will cost the U.S. $700 BILLION over the next 10 years verses the President's plan.
Who do the Republicans represent?
