The Senate took a key step forward on renewing expired unemployment benefits, voting to open debate on a bipartisan measure on Thursday afternoon. The 65-34 vote was a significant breakthrough, putting the Senate on a glide path to final passage early next week. But Speaker John Boehner has indicated he has no intention of putting the proposal on the House floor, citing concerns about implementation and a dearth of job-creation provisions in the package. The republicans again do not want to approve unemployment benefits for the 99 % of us.
