Emergency aid is due to expire Dec. 28. The loss of benefits "is particularly poignant and nearly devastating as we go into the Christmas holiday," Pelosi said. Some Republicans argue that the economy and the job picture are improving and therefore there's less need to extend the emergency benefits. |
