AP - Millions of people stuck on the jobless rolls would receive an extension of unemployment benefits averaging $309 a week under a Senate bill that appears set to break free of a Republican filibuster. Democrats have stripped the unemployment insurance measure down to the bare essentials for Tuesday's vote, which is a do-over of a tally taken late last month.

Yes they (the unemployed) need a life line right now so desperately. I can't believe there are some amongst the Congress who actually think people who are capbable and have worked really want to be unemployed! Are those people mad? What is $600-800 month anyway puhleeze that's not enough to cover rent where I live! I guess we have to wait and see.

vacant by the death of Robert C. Byrd and provide the 60th
yes in a largely party-line vote. The bill is expected to be
approved by the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
