That’s interesting. It would certainly show strength against some of the perceived weakensses - namely that Romney has a heart, cares about the 47% and is willing to make some moves to shore up personal situations. But, it would add to the debt so I would support it as a political move if it was offset by some very small spending cuts.
...which would be where Reid and his party would be caught between a rock and a hard place when they are forced to vote AGAINST that extra aid to help those struggling to find a job in this miserable economy.
