Unemployment Extension Passes Hurdle in Senate...
#5
RE: Unemployment Extension Passes Hurdle in Senate...
Congress has been extending unemployment benefits since 2008. Now they want to extend them for three months? What good is that going to do? We've always had unemployed people; sometimes more and sometimes fewer. We have more now, but are they suffering more than the unemployed were in say 1993? Why didn't we extend benefits then? Maybe we should just have never-ending unemployment benefits. How do we determine when it's time to halt the extensions - when the unemployment rate reaches a certain level or when our financial system finally is crushed under the weight of our massive national debt?
