House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Friday that the top priority of Congress in 2014 should be to extend unemployment insurance.
According to The Hill, Pelosi said in a statement that the upcoming expiration of federal unemployment benefits is “simply immoral.”
“Starting tomorrow, too many American families will face the New Year with uncertainty, insecurity, and instability as a result of congressional Republicans’ refusal to extend critical unemployment insurance,” she said. “The first item on Congress’ agenda in the New Year must be an extension of unemployment insurance. That must be our priority on day one.”
