The real consequences?
From LEO’s Jonathan Meador:
“I’ve learned to feed us on $10 a week,” he continues. “It’s not super healthy food by any means. Plus, I found out I’m losing protein at an alarming rate, so I might have something seriously wrong with me, but I can’t afford to get it checked out.” Smith suspects it might be diabetes or cancer, both of which run in his family, but he recently missed an appointment at a free clinic because he was too busy scrambling to cover the nonexistence of an expected unemployment check.
“I gotta make sure we’re living and taken care of before I can actually take care of myself.”

Y’know, you’re quick to jump on Bunning about this, but Harry Reid deserves it just as much. Bunning told Reid he’s vote for passage if they paid for the extension by using unused, “slush fund money” from TARP. Reid refused, did he not?
Harry Reid could have ended it before he started and didn’t. But naturally, Bunning is the bad guy here.

When have I ever said anything nice about Harry Failure Reid?

Harry Reid. At a time when we need an LBJ with Henry Clay’s oratory we get a Mr. Rogers with a Winnie the Pooh voice.

If it is all Harry Reid’s fault, why is Bunning taking credit for blocking the bill?

In seemingly trying to protect his ideology, Bunning directly caused human misery. There’s no way around it.
