Why extended benefits are not being approved yet?

From the EDD web site:

At this time, there are no additional extended unemployment benefits available to individuals who have collected all available extended unemployment benefits. Congress is currently working on various legislative proposals that will likely include an additional federal extension of unemployment benefits. This information will be updated if an additional federal extension does become available. Individuals who may be eligible for an additional federal extension will automatically receive appropriate claim forms or notification regarding these benefits.

My guess is the the damn republicans in congress are doing everything they can against this benefits extension!!!

Let's call this republicans up and make they approve this bill !!!
