When Senate Democrats fell just one vote short of advancing a bill to restore long-term unemployment insurance last Thursday, Russ Holton wept.
.
“Imagine that, a 44-year-old man crying while watching TV,” he said. He had watched the vote on C-SPAN 2. A day later, his cable provider cut him off because he hadn’t paid the bill.

Holton is one of the 1.7 million long-term unemployed people missing out on federal benefits because Congress stopped providing them in December. Six years ago, he was making $85,000 per year at his job in tech sales. Today, the seams of his life are fraying.
