What I would do is extend the benefits AND propose solid reforms. Open debate on reform proposals, GOP senators, democrat senators, any dang senators who has the plan. Just do it. But dont hold up benefits at the 11th hour AGAIN just because you have a burr on your ass about it.

I also agree that pulling the benifits at the last minute is not good, but then remember these people have thier fingers crossed that they will get extended AGAIN. So setting a deadline seems pointless, if no one believes it will ever happen.
Just so you know, I am for Programs that are used for what they are intended for.
Abuse on all levels has to stop, from programs to government.
We are in an age of entitlement, the Me Me Me, What do I get.
We are our own enemies!
