Talk of a 6 month extension of unemployment benefits for 2010

I can not find any details about the proposed extension. I will provide updates as more information becomes available.
"Democratic leaders say they will try to raise the ceiling to nearly $14 trillion as part of a $626 billion bill next week to pay for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and other military programs in 2010. The bill doesn't include the additional $30 billion President Obama is expected to seek early next year to pay for his 30,000-troop buildup in Afghanistan but it might carry an added $50 billion to pay for a six-month extension of unemployment benefits and health insurance subsidies for the long-term jobless."
