The fuck is wrong with these politicians, seriously. We are barely recovering from one of the most horrific recessions in US history. The job market is shit. The economy is recovering at a snail like pace, and things don't seem to be getting any better. This is nrabroad
the time for them to be dilly dallying around with their thumbs up their asses.
We need help and we need it now. By next week the number of unemployed that lose their benefits will cross over the 1 million mark, and will grow larger and larger as each week passes by. These are hard working people that lost their jobs at no fault of their own, me included, these are people that have families to support, bills to pay, rent/mortgage payments etc. It's fucking ridiculous, these politicians are playing a game with the unemployed's livelihood.
Let's see, we can spend billions fighting a war against a made up enemy, send a few billion to Haiti to help a worthless country that has never done anything for us, and bail out the Greeks with money that we don't even have...
BUT we can't help our own, it's too expensive.
FYI - The bill did nrabroad
include additional weeks to the 99 week limit of benefits, but rather let eligible claimants continue to collect benefits on their current tier of benefits and move freely to the next without any interruption until the end of November of this year. So basically the bill is giving them what they should already be entitled to.
