| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1040771 United States07/20/2010 01:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I heard it from Rush 5 mins ago. Quoting: BREAKING NEWS 585354They have not. This is from my internal homepage of the benefits website for my state unemployment: "Without Congressional action, Extended Benefits payments will end on June 5, 2010. We will continue to pay benefits remaining on current Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) claims. Please continue to request payment every two weeks as scheduled in case the deadlines are extended. Check for updates by-clicking the Helpful Information for Claimants at www.texasworkforce.org, or on your Unemployment Benefits Services home page. "  |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 585354 United States07/20/2010 01:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The length of these benefits is unprecedented, they are already over three times longer than the longest previous extension of benefits. The benefits are also larger, with health insurance also being subsidized for the first time. Now this new extension will increase benefits to up to 129 weeks. That is two-and-a-half years of benefits, almost five times longer than the previous extension. |

| BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 381742 United States07/20/2010 01:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Damn, that's a whole lot of drunk... Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

Like it's any of your business. Shut the fuck up about it. Worry about your own problems. When unemployment is your problem, that's when your opinion matters. Until then you and Rush can sit in a dark room together with your thumbs up each other's asses for all I care, just shut the fuck up if it doesn't concern you (if you're not unemployed, it doesn't fucking concern you.) |

| Northforker User ID: 1042497  Canada07/20/2010 01:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just collecting what's owed me. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1042192AND, they timed the next round of extensions to occur right before Christmas. It'll be extended again and again. Nobody will have the stomach to cut us off just before Christmas. Thanks Hahahahahahaaaaaa! You are a fucking leech, please kill yourself! Calling an illegal alien an undocumented alien is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist. I just realized... they aren't saying, "Keynesian Economics" they're saying "Kenyansian Economics". Grass Huts for everyone!

That is two-and-a-half years of benefits, almost five times longer than the previous extension. But looking at things the unemployment rate is unprecedented. This is the first time since the 1950's that the government hasn't extended benefits in tough economic times. Also We haven;t seen times like these since before the 50's. And it isn't extending the time the unemployed receive benefits. It was already at 99 weeks. So this is just continuing already approved benefits. Unless they added something overnight. Which I highly doubt. Research is your friend. |
| Doomamatrix User ID: 1042422 United States07/20/2010 01:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And consider that the unemployed will still be able to buy some things here and there that will help pump up their local economies. A whole bunch of people with NO money and NOT spending would have been disaster! Obamacare: Never has so much been taken away from so many for so few. |
