As long as he Vermont capital gets 5 billion in cash

GOP shifting on unemployment benefits as jobless numbers swell
Now with the national unemployment rate projected to hit or exceed 20 percent, the highest number since the Great Depression, a growing number of GOP senators say the federal government should continue to augment weekly unemployment benefits in some form — though most want it lower than the $600 figure.
GOP senators fear that the wave of protests, riots and other forms of social unrest that has rocked major cities around the country is linked to the bleak economic picture and that their majority is on the line.
I am hoping these dufas Repubs have a plan to avoid the endless earmarks hassles coming up.  They need to negotiate a state capital payoff, one the keeps the small states alive.  If they cannot figure that out then we are doomed to small state stupidity for some time.
