On the heels of
signing financial reforms into law, Obama could sign the bill that extends unemployment benefits tomorrow after the final House vote.
The Senate has passed a bill restoring unemployment benefits to millions of Americans who have been out of work for six months or more.
President Obama is poised to sign the measure into law after a final House vote on Thursday. It's a welcome relief to 2.5 million people who have seen their benefits expire.
The measure had once been considered routine but got caught up in a monthslong battle between Democrats and Republicans over whether jobless benefits should be financed with additional federal debt or with cuts to other programs. NPR
