OK guys, I don't have time between work and classes to keep up with politics as much as I used to. I happened onto the Daily Show last night, and Stewart is ripping the Republicans for not allowing the bill that would grant health benefits to the 9/11 first responders. He is crushing the Repubs for this, and making some good points about hypocrisy and other things.
So I'm watching (and laughing some) last night, but can't help but think there has to be more to this than meets the eye. It can't be as simple as the GOP stalling all bills until the tax cuts are extended. Someone help me out. Is there something else in the bill that TDS isn't covering that makes it onerous?
Quick sidenote: not looking for a bash Jon Stewart thread, or a Dem-bashing thread. I don't watch JS for news, I watch him for entertainment. I meant to research this bill today, but ran out of time, and figured I could get the alternate viewpoint here.
Thanks in advance.
