Go Republican Obstruction!

Ryan Grim reports:

Thanks to congressional inaction, more than 200,000 laid-off workers could lose access to unemployment benefits this week, and no flood insurance policies will be renewed or issued until Congress returns on April 12 -- despite record long-term joblessness and record rainfall. [...]

Senate Republicans blocked the Democrats' $9 billion proposal to extend the programs on an emergency basis...

I wonder how many of the 200,000 laid-off workers will vote Republican anyway -- despite the fact that the Republicans are obstructing their unemployment benefits, you know, from the evil socialist government.

Americans are really weird.
