NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- More than 200,000 jobless Americans are anxiously waiting for the Senate to restore their extended unemployment insurance.

These folks were expected to stop getting checks this week after lawmakers failed to extend an April 5 deadline to file for federally-paid benefits before adjourning for a two-week recess. A total of a million people could lose benefits this month if the Senate doesn't act, according to the National Employment Law Project.

It would be ok with me if they cut somewhere else in the budget (although there has to be an end point here somewhere).  How about starting with the raises they gave themselves for 2010.
