[quote:susano:MV8xMjczNjc5XzIwNzkyNDYyXzE5QzZCMjcy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1122121] I am a conservative through and through, but they give billions, and trillions to stupid shit that hurts Americans, [b]and can't extend this in the fucked up hard times we are having. I don't need it but many need it to eat. [/b] This is just way fucked up. . [color=red][b] For 99 weeks ... [i]693 days??[/i] [/b][/color]:wtf: . This isn't and extension on top of the 99 weeks. All this bill will do is allow the people who have not claimed for less than 6 months be able to get to the other tiers. Meaning that a person that has been on unemployment for only lets say 2 weeks will not get any money after Dec. 4th. The Dream Tier will most likely not happen and time soon. If at all. Thats the bill that will extend on to the 99 weeks. [/quote] Explain that again, please. Are you saying that anyone who has been on (state) unemployment for less than six months will not be eligable for the extension, but those who have have been on for six or longer will? Also, isn't there a federal extension, in all states for 26 weeks, and the 99ers are only a few states? [/quote]
