Given Boehner and Cantor's voting record on unemployment, there is not going to be unemployment

benefits extension.

(Cantor's record is fairly similar to Boehner). they only voted for them when attached to something they want, like tax cuts.

So, except if they find something to add to the bill or threaten to embarrass them some other way, they are not going to put something on the floor.
