The $34 billion needed to extend benefits would be borrowed, adding to the nation's mounting debt. Republicans have tapped into the public's anger and concern over that debt, saying they would only support extending benefits if the bill was paid for.
Obama pushed back in his address, accusing Republicans of making their stand at the expense of the unemployed "after years of championing policies that turned a record surplus into a massive deficit."
O-o-o-kay...
Are these "policies" that turned a surplus into a deficit the policies that allowed the Democrats to still exist? Because as far as I know, this massive deficit we have going on now was pretty much put there by Obama himself.
