After months of anticipation and debates among the US political officials, finally the ‘Unemployment Extension Bill 2010’ has been passed by the upper house of US parliament after getting the long awaited vote of the West Virginian Senator, Carte Goodwin, who’s vote came just minutes after he was sworn in by the Democrats to overcome the threat of a GOP filibuster.
Carte Goodwin was escorted on to the Senate floor by a senior Democrat who is also the senior senator of West Virginia, Democrat Jay Rockefeller.
According to the main plot of the Unemployment Extension Bill 2010, around 2.5 million unemployed Americans would continue to obtain unemployment benefits through the fall of this year under this very legislation that has been passed by the senate today after months of debates.
So now, it is expected from the Unemployment Extension Bill, a legislation that cleared a major procedural hurdle this afternoon after being supported by 60 Democrats along with President Barack Obama, that it will pull out benefits for all those out-of-work Americans who have already used their standard 26 weeks of unemployment.
Though it is surely a good news, yet some people are of the view that it is ‘too late’. People are suggestive of that particular fact that the delay in the ‘Unemployment Extension Bill 2010’ has really revealed the ill performance of the Government in realizing the ever-declining poor condition of millions of unemployed Americans.
However, others are of the view that as soon as the ‘Unemployment Extension Bill 2010’ will start to shower its benefits, sooner they will be in position to pay off their debts.
