IIRC the house did send something up that conceded the tax bump to 39% on 250k+ earners, but asked for spending cuts in medicare, social security reform etc. but was immediately rejected. While I'm sure it was asking for a ton of stuff that the R's want, at least they conceded the tax bump to "play ball".
Not saying both sides aren't at fault, because they are.
*Edit* What I find much more offensive than the emergency unemployment benefits ending is the estate/death tax going back up to 55% for any inheritance valued over 1 million. Grabbing half of what someone made and already paid tax on once is quite the kick in the nuts.

I know right?
It sounds like a horrible thing to expire but the emergency fund kicks in after 26 weeks. That's half a freaking year. You can say the economy is bad and all that but if you can't get some kind of job in 6 months, even a warehouse gig at best buy, you're flat out not trying, or refusing something "below your pay grade".
