...Jim Bunning says so.

No really, United States Senator Jim Bunning, (R) Kentucky is delaying a deal in Congress to extend unemployment benefits. Some states will be hit harder than others if Congress doesn't act to reinstate benefits that Brunning doesn't want you to have.

As long as Jim Bunning delays a deal in Congress to extend unemployment benefits, states around the country will see unemployed Americans start to lose those benefits.

But seven states will be hit harder than any others: Florida, New York, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Georgia.

All of them will see an average 10,000 or more workers each week lose their benefits this month if Senator Bunning continues to hold up legislation, according to the National Employment Law Project (NELP), a New York-based advocacy group for employment rights of lower-wage workers.

Some folks have to work extra hard at being ass-hats, Jim Bunning isnt one of them. To him it seems to come natural.

    All Reid has to do to get this passed is find 51 votes. Hold a floor vote and be done with it.

    If you won't hold a floor vote, it's because you're afraid of something.

    /sometimes there's too much politics in government.
