Democrats to give jobless benefits another vote

Rest assured that further stimulus will be constructed and extended as millions cry out "save me." Right or wrong, the consequences of these decisions will manifest themselves in the capital markets. Gold, silver, and to a lesser extend stocks and other tangible asset markets will soon discount the inevitable decision to maintain the status quo through the protection an ailing financial and economic system.

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.
