Watch for the Republican House to Vote against the Bill. The Senate voted 65-34 Thursday to advance legislation that would restore federal unemployment benefits. The test vote, which drew the support of 10 Republicans, likely clears the way for passage of legislation that would extend a federal unemployment insurance (UI) program for five months. Action in the House appears unlikely, however, as Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has said he wouldn’t consider the Senate deal because it doesn’t include job-creating measures. politicususa/2014/01/08/john-boehner-tells-biggest-lie-claiming-obama-obstructed-house-jobs-bills.html
