Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ken.) objects to one-week extension of unemployment benefits , suggesting instead that the Senate take up the bipartisan jobs proposal unveiled earlier in the day by Senators Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), which includes extensions of unemployment insurance and COBRA subsidies.
"Now, I know my friend and colleague is going to offer some scaled-down version of that shortly, but if we offered instead the Grassley-Baucus amendment, which was filed earlier today, that would include the unemployment extension," said McConnell.
Reid did not accept McConnell’s suggestion — he had already rejected the Grassley-Baucus jobs proposal.
"Let me just add that unemployment insurance does not expire until February the 28th," said McConnell. "We’ll be back on the 22nd and hopefully we’ll have sufficient time to work on an acceptable extension."
Judy Conti, a lobbyist for the National Employment Law Project, doesn’t even want a one-week extension. She said a one-week extension would lead to more brinkmanship in Congress and chaos in unemployment agencies — not to mention anxiety for benefits recipients.
