Republicans Block Extension of TANF Emergency Fund - 250 THOUSAND Americans Loose Jobs At Midnight Tonight, September 30

This isn't some academic exercise -- by killing the measure, Republicans will force thousands of Americans out of work. The House approved an extension of the program (twice) but the Senate GOP just didn't care. As a result, the TANF Emergency Fund comes to an end tonight at midnight. Thousands of layoffs will begin quickly, and continue as we get closer to the holiday season.

And we'll once again face an ironic dynamic: Americans will get frustrated with Democrats over more job losses, instead of the Republicans responsible for killing an effective program that kept tens of thousands on the job.

Indeed, in a sane political world, the death of the TANF Emergency Fund would be a pretty big scandal, and Republicans would have been afraid to kill an effective jobs program with an unemployment rate near 10%. Instead, the GOP is counting on being rewarded by Americans for taking steps like these, and polls suggest that's exactly what's going to happen.

Republicans will keep asking, "Where are the jobs?" and no one seems inclined to answer, "Your party got rid of them."

A Language for Visual Learners INFOGRAPHICS - Supreme Court Confirmations Through the Years Is A Great One

I am a visual learner  --  sometimes to the extreme. Dull, bland, data points and long, drawn out verbal or written descriptions, I have never appreciated (or had trouble understanding.)To me, like Mathematics has been described by folks who "get it" an actual language, so do good Infographics. What follows is an excellent example. At least I think so. Primo!
