Unemployment Extension 2010 News: Will Senate Bill Kill New Jobs

By Richard West on July 19, 2010, 9:05 am

With the unemployment rate rising in the United States, the feeling of desperation continues to grow as well. It was reported that the number of unemployed people who have lost benefits as of last week sits at nearly two million. It is estimated that if the unemployment extension does not pass, that number will rise to an estimated 3.3 million by the end of the month.

What Is The Unemployment Extension

Due to the rising unemployment rate, the government is trying to find a way to ease the pain and fear in the hearts of Americans as well as to restore the strength of the economy. In an effort to do so, they have proposed an extension of unemployment benefits which will extend benefits through November to those who have been unemployed longer than 26 weeks. The House approved the extension; however, due to a week-long recess taken by the Senate, it failed to progress past them. The Senate returned from their recess last week. The bill is expected to pass tomorrow.

Will The Extension Help Or Hurt The Economy

The bill has been highly criticized because it will, in effect, cause the government to take money from job creation in order to fund unemployment. The money that is currently being used create jobs in construction and manufacturing incentives as well as jobs in alternative energy will be put toward the extension of unemployment benefits.

 

Also up for debate it the fear that the extension will encourage people to stop looking for jobs or not to pursue jobs as much as they would if their benefits had run dry. Also in question is how the States will handle the money if the bill is passed. It has been reported that the State’s unemployment call centers are already being flooded with questions, most of which are going unanswered.

    i cant believe this is taking so long we just gave 7.5 billion to pakistan but u cant help me keep a roof over my head?! wtf!

  2. bob s says:

    NOT EXACTLY! If the repubs had their way the money would have come from the excess stimulus. The dems want to add it to the deficit. the money doesn’t come from monies already earmarked for other programs

  3. Mary says:

    When would the unemployed see the money when the bill passes? Some of the unemployed needed the money weeks ago to pay bills ect.

  4. tracey lynn says:

    i only have 2 weeks of unemployment left from the prior federal extension. as i was recently monetarily denied for another euc claim, i havent had employment since dec 2008. will i receive the next federal extension or will i lose my home.

  5. Charlene Harris says:

    All I have to say is remember those Republicans, that are causing families to loose their homes, families,starving, by withholding unemployment extension. Make sure these Republican Senators are out of office!!!

  6. Stace says:

    The stimulus money is NOT a sluch fund…see the Republicans are USED to having a slush fund…our tax money. It is already marked for new projects…what? You think they’re just going to send out checks like Bush did? They wait, make sure it’s allocated to the correct places. Do you even know how deep the well goes? How much the right has destroyed our country because GW had a “bible” moment? He let the Christans in..he was a recovering alcoholic who found Jesus and now the right wing Jerry Falwell followers are trying to keep control of their wealth and ours. We were built without God’s queen ruling us, without God saying who the queen is and should be. We left that behind, but the religious right under GW put it back in and here we are. No better that the religious fighting in muslim nations. Under Bush? We were becoming a religious nation and LOTS of people got rich, lots of us became the poor (hmmm…sounds like Ole’ England to me).
    God save the Queen! Tax them to fund our war! (which we will become rich off of, see: Halliburton & Cheney) Anyone?
    The Republicans were in charge FOR EIGHT YEARS, how soon we forget… they screwed us & now look at our country. You vote Republican you are blind and un-American….but you think Jesus should be in charge. Spoiler alert: He’s NOT interested; there’s a time and a place for religion!!!

    SLUSH…lol

  8. Stop says:

    Reading a few of the Article on this site, your are very misleading and irresponible…

    the unemployment dollars help the economy recover…

    the unemployment dollars all so help keep certain segment of country employed..

    who ever wrote the stories above are working with some far-right group in this country that is a part of the PROBLEM..
    stop playing political games with PEOPLE lives your reporting is both misleading and irresponsible

  9. Wendi Dallas says:

    i cant believe they think we want to be unemployed, if we had jobs to look for we would be on unemployment, THERE ARE NO JOBS, if this doesnt pass we will have to go on welfare,were is the savings in that..

  10. Marty says:

    Unemployed since December 2009. I have sent out over 500 resumes. UI ran out in June. The idea the UI extension would encourage people to not look for jobs is an incorrect generality. Paying COBRA and normal expenses is bleeding remaining finances quickly. Help would be appreciated

  11. DESPARATEINMASSACHUSETTS says:

    HEY STUPID SENATORS!!! THIS WILL NOT DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM LOOKING FOR A JOB. IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS. NOT SURE IF OTHER STATES REQUIRE THIS BUT AFTER SO MANY WEEKS OF COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT, ***YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT A JOB SEARCH FORM*** AND MAIL IT BACK TO UNEMPLOYMENT EVERY WEEK SHOWING WHERE YOU APPLIED FOR WORK. EVERY WEEK!!!! IF YOU DON’T DO THIS..YOU LOSE YOUR BENEFITS. WAKE UP AND STOP BEING STUPID IGNORANT AS*HOLES! EXTEND THE UNEMPLOYMENT AND DO WHAT YOU ARE GETTING PAID FOR! CREATE AND BRING JOBS BACK TO AMERICA!!!!! TELL THE AMERICAN COMPANIES TO BRING THE JOBS BACK HERE. PROCTOR AND GAMBLE ETC.. THAT IS WHERE THE SENATE FUC*ED UP. LETTING SO MANY JOBS GO OVERSEAS. GEE…I WONDER WHY THERE ARE NO JOBS LEFT IN OUT COUNTRY!! THE STUPID ASS SENATORS ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN. THE SO CALLED “FREE TRADE AGREEMENT” LOL.

  12. Rob Kohler says:

    “..the fear that the extension will encourage people to stop looking for jobs or not to pursue jobs as much as they would if their benefits had run dry”

    Congress is kidding, right? The 3.3 million people who will lose benefits are going to suddenly find work? Are they to create their own jobs? The private sector isn’t even doing that.

    We should have stopped supporting the casino economy many years ago, and instead, put the whole of the bankrupt financial system into receivership, reorganized what remained under a Glass-Steagall standard, and used a National Bank to fund long-term, basic economic infrastructure which would require millions of people for productive employment. No more bailouts, no more ‘necessary but difficult’ cost cuts to services, stop the foreclosures. This congress hasn’t a clue.

    You know you are a Republic when you. . . .

    LOST THE VOTE in November!

  14. Joe says:

    The Republicans that are voting no to the extension of unemployed benefits are the same ones that are all for allowing more tax breaks for their rich friends and associates in corporate America to the tune of over $700 billion. Look, I have voted Republican ever since I could earn a pay check. Today I just flushed my Republican voters card and I will get one as an Independent. What these elitist ass*****’s are doing to both Republican, Democrat and Independent citizens, which by the way are all American’s, is criminal. Lets have them cut off from funding their pay checks and benefits. It would not bother most of them as they are already millionaires,but it would make my heart feel a little better. Can we also ask somebody who knows, to tally up all the appropriations that Congress has passed, including the foreign gifts of billions of American tax dollars to very questionable countries, most which would in all truth would rather see us dead,and then see if the unemployment appropriation, that is being held up by REPUBLICANS,even comes to a small fraction of those monies. Tell me Mr. Senator is that how much you guys give a good s**** about us?

    Remember in November….
    How the Republican Party blocked benefits not once but 3 times..

    The Republican Party action have probably caused..
    1.the lost of shelter ( homes, apartments)

    2. Hunger ( Children )children going to be bed without eating and wakeing up with out eating

    3. Abuse ( physical and verbal abuse of Childrens and Women)

    4. Stealing to survive to feed their families.

    5. and this is the big one Death, their were people in our country who probably killed themselves because they could no longer handle the daily pressure of how they were going to survive.

    I blame Bush and the Republican party, for the the economic down fall of our country..
    I place the blame at their door steps were it belongs, when Bush entered Office he and his Party had a 2 Trillion dollars surplus and they did not use the funds to help the average American citizen…THEY HELPED their RICH Friends and Major Wall Street Corp and Banks, they sent jobs to India, and major manufacturing to China. Bush started a War in Iraq that was not necessary he left the country a mess and the Republicans that are in Washington right now ( John Cornyn, Pete Sessions and Kay Hutchinson all of Texas) have got to be voted out, they may not be up for re-election in November of 2010 but rest assured. I will work to make sure that they are all voted out of office.

  17. Jerry says:

    The president today 7/19/2010 had a media talk on the unemployed and had several of unemployed indivduals from 2 years to 1 year etc. He stated that people have exhausted their benefits and need help from the congress to help ALL Unemployed in this still jobless economy. It is now up to the congress to get a Bill to help provide a lifeline for all unemployed. The unemployed can now hold you congress accountable to any measure that deviates from what the president said about the unemployed. ALL Unemployed need a Bill to help provide additional lifeline for at least an additional year in this very slow recovery jobless economy.

  18. VotetheRepugsout says:

    Stop foriegn aid NOW…they are sending money to countries that hate us…

  19. Glenn B N.J. says:

    I could care less which party does what. Give us ALL jobs or give us unemployment. At this point the lies to America must stop. The truth must be reported by mainstream media (ABC, CBS, and NBC) the only person close to this is Ed Schultz MSNBC. How can something as bad as the numbers of unemployed (millions) not be in the news or receive a Google page 1 paragraph. Everyday on Google you have to search for unemployment information. When the truth is told the facts should include ALL of the unemployed, not those confusing Tiers but include those over 99 weeks. They not only lie about the recovery effort but they lie about the help being given. Most Americans think there are jobs available and we would rather collect unemployment. The current bill HR – 4213 is only an EXTENSION of the Tiers 1 thru 4. This does not cover those requiring a tier 5 (over 99 weeks unemployed – 99ers). If and when it’s passed America will be misled into believing all unemployed are receiving help. When this bill is passed we will still have to wait for ANOTHER bill to be passed for us. In addition people covered by this bill may soon become 99ers as well. If you have 98 paid weeks and this bill is passed you will only receive 1 week of pay. Then you too will become a 99er without a check!
    The 99ers will then have to wait for another bill to be created. Then there’s the August recess. (another vacation break). This will probably be done months from now just in time for the November elections. By then there will be millions on welfare and homeless. Congress, the Senate, both Presidents all know the truth, so how do they keep UPI, Reuters and Google from covering our plight. The truth is out there.

  20. Glenn B N.J. says:

    Everyone on unemployment is complaining about the outsourcing of jobs to other countries. Has anyone considered the problem of outsourcing our natural resources like British Petroleum (BP) drilling oil in the US. Are there any US oil companies drilling in the UK? Also how many other countries are out sourcing TO the US? I can understand other countries investing in the US but what is the rate of return? Do they pay more taxes or fewer taxes than US companies? Do they pay a tariff for monetary gains that are leaving our country? Or does our government give them big tax breaks like the other large US companies that are ripping off this country?

  21. Kate101 says:

    I am upset that congress did not pass this bill two weeks ago! But instead that left thousands of unemployed people and their children hungry. I am extremely upset that they gave our damn money to Pakistan who infact could care less about Americans. How could they just let us suffer like this and give money to help other countries. Don’t we help those people enough they are the reason we have no damn jobs! They come over here and hire all of their illegal family members while we suffer. And when do I get my two checks because my bank have been calling me for several weeks. Since I had not been able to pay them their money thanks to the republican party!

ALL Unemployed need a Bill to help provide additional lifeline for at least an additional year in this very slow recovery jobless economy. They need to do more they need to add additional weeks, Tier 5 or Tiers 5,6 to help all unemployed for at least additional year in this still slow job recovery.

    I AGREE WITH A COMMENT ABOVE. ***LETS NOT FORGET WHO CREATED THIS FINANCIAL MESS INCLUDING WAR. BUSH!!! THE IDIOT BUSH GOT US INTO THIS TERRIBLE FINANCIAL DISASTER. OBAMA IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN WITH WHAT HE HAS. I WOULDN’T WANT HIS JOB. HE HAD TO COME IN AND TRY TO PICK UP THE PIECES THAT THIS IDIOT LEFT US. INCLUDING A WAR WE HAD NO BUSINESS STARTING! SO MUCH MONEY. SO MANY DEAD KIDS.WHAT A DISGRACE!! OH YES…LETS ALSO REMEMBER THE SENATE PASSED ALL OF BUSH’S BILLS THAT HELPED RUIN THIS COUNTRY. REPUBLICANS ARE STUPID IRRESPONSIBLE SPOILED PIGS THAT DO NOT WORK FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS. THEY RUINED OUR COUNTRY. LETS MAKE SURE NEVER EVER TO VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN. THAT IS UNLESS YOU ARE FILTHY RICH AND WANT TO HOARD ALL OF YOUR MONEY!!

  24. jess says:

    hey lets see hear if we have no money comeing in from our unemployment than we will lose our home, cars and every thing we have worked for and on the other hand if dont have any family member to take us in then we will end up out on the streets and be homeless and I dont think
    places will really hire a homeless person that dose not have a home adress so YOU STUPIED REPUBLICANS YOU BETTER VOTE THAT EXTENSION IN OR EALSE YOU YOUR SELF WILL NO LONGER BE HAVEING A JOB! get the picture

  25. Debbie F. says:

    I am so tired of the Republicans saying that those of us on unemployment are not motivated to look for a job. I would like them to try living on $1300 a month…it ain’t easy. I live in OH and there are not a lot of job to be had out there. Most jobs pay minimum wage or if you’re lucky maybe $10.00 an hour. How is a family supposed to exist on that? And many jobs are only part time, no benefits. It’s tough out there and those of us on unemployment are trying very hard to find something.

  26. Rebecca says:

    Don’t let Obama’s grandstanding fool you. It is both parties failure to compromise that has delayed this bill that they all agree needs to pass. The people we have put in the Senate have a total lack of empathy for the unemployed. It was their policies that allowed industry to go overseas, the bank collapse, the housing collapse, etc. They all went on vacation instead of taking care of business.

  27. tom s says:

    Must be nice to to look down on the unemployed. I have paid my taxes since being 16 i made 80k a year now unemployment pays me 30k you think this is fun? Remember were not the problem, we all paid taxes and most of us own houses ..the real problem is the illegals and the welfare and the out of touch politicians who been in office forever!!

  28. concerned says:

    WHAT WOULD OUR FOUNDING FATHERS DO? THESE SENATORS NEED TO PASS THIS BILL ASAP DO THEY NOT SEE THAT 3 MILLION PEOPLE ARE SOON TO BE IN SOUP KITCHENS AND SUICIDE RATES WILL GO UP.THIS IS A CRISIS AND IS REALITY.THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!! THESE SENATORS HAD A HAPPY 4TH WHILE MILLIONS WERE WITHOUT FOOD,HOUSE,WATER OR ANYTHING WE SUFFER FOR WHAT!!!!!!!!! COME NOVEMBER WE THE PEOPLE WILL BE VOTING AND TRUST THESE WORDS!! WE REMEMBER EVERYYYYTHING!!!!!!! AND OBAMA YOU SAID IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE WELL IF YOU MEAN CHANGE BY YOUR GETTING IMPEACHED COME 2012 THEN YOUR RIGHT IF ACTION IS NOT TAKIN ON THIS!!!!!!!!!

  29. No Work!!! says:

    I am a 35 year old professional who has been unemployed since February 2009. I have worked without pause since the legal working age of 14 in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been paying my taxes without gripe for 20+ years, so I feel like I’ve put my time in and don’t feel like I am “holding my hand out”, and certainly not “spoiled” (nice, Sharron Engle). I made about 50K a year and my unemployment paid about 26K a year, minus federal taxes of course. Is that really spoiled? I am beyond the verge of bankrupcy, I have NO retirement left (401K LONG GONE), I CANNOT find work, and I don’t know where my next mortgage payment is coming from (or child support for that matter, which is really the priority). I am now without any unemployment benefits, as of last week. A part of me really DOES appreciate the fact that these programs has been extended beyond the typical 26 weeks of benefits. Let’s face it, others that lost work before us, and still couldn’t (legitimately) find work beyond 26 weeks didn’t have this additional help. HOWEVER, we are now in fact in different times. It’s not JUST repubs, but as a registered republican I can honestly say I have been re-evaluating my party affiliation for a couple of years now. I will probably re-register as an independant, which means I can’t vote in the primaries (big deal, I WILL show up for the actual vote and I WILL be familiar with how those in my district voted in regards to these issues.) We all have a voice, but voting is the only thing that means anything to most politicians.

    I face losing my house, going to jail because I can’t pay my child support…like I said, bankrupcy….I’m not a criminal!!!

    I also feel very strongly that is is outright UNFAIR to pay some unemployed 99 weeks of benefits, then cut the rest of us off simply because we lost our jobs a little bit later, and for the SAME REASONS!! BS…..

    All of us in this boat need to stay tuned to who is voting for what, and get out and vote these insensitive pricks out of office. Keep in mind we have some MAJOR midterm elections coming up this fall. If Nevada votes Sharron Engle in, they are fools after that comment she made.

    STOP sending all this money overseas to countries that hate us anyway, while letting us suffer. THAT is a sin. Congress and especially the SENATE, get the message???

  30. Scott says:

    The GOP just stopped fooling more of the
    people. Me, for one. They don’t like giveaways?Never minded giving to their corporate welfare pimps. Never saw a defence contract they didn’t like. They will raise the deficit to support whatever is in their best interests. They must be insane to think we don’t see their shell game. Not just the jobless, but their family, friends have been hurting. We, too, will tell the GOP where they can go in Nov. Except for the lone repubs who vote for the extension bill …and Dems like Bill Nelson need to be out of a job. Blame the democrats, blame the lazy unemployed for the problems. Thanks, GOP for makeing me wakeup. God’s Own Party? NOT

  31. Rick Watts says:

    This country was built on values such as neighbor helping neighbor in time of need. The economy is still bad and unemployment is at a high percentage. Jobs are scarce. I can not see how anyone with the power to help fellow Americans in need would instead choose to deny them the basic necessities of life for ANY reason. Any of these lawmakers who just dig their heels in with a “my way or the highway” stance are failing to do what is right. The right thing would be to work and keep on working to find a way to pass that bill one way or another and help all these American families that fell victim to this great recession. This is the paramount issue at hand, American families who many have served in the military, worked and paid taxes all their lives are now on the brink of total desperation and destitution . Any of these Senators who do not do what they can to help pass this bill are not worthy of being called Americans and should be thrown out in shame come November.

  32. Jessica says:

    i had been living on $500 a month plus $200 from unemployment, when the unemployment left, i could hardly make my rent, right now i live with my husband, son, and mother in law. my daughter is being taken away from me because my ex’s parents feel that the way we live is unsuitable (i.e. us living with my mother in law) but what else do people expect families to do? i am a young mother, my husband cannot work so he stays at home, and i’m sitting here watching the news and wondering where these people get off? the idea that people on unemployment sit on their butts all day and collect, who the heck have they been talking to????? i finally found a second job as a waitress a couple nights a week and, i’ll be honest, i cried for two hours last night because of the relief i feel. unfortunately others aren’t as fortunate as i am and come this november i will remember ALL of this and WHO is the cause.

    These are the comments that need to be sent to senators, maybe then they will get a wakeup call!!!

    From IRAZVeteran060
    “As a US soldier I saw people die. I saw people in dispair and without going into detail I will say my life will never be the same because of this. I am a father of three beautiful children, I have a loving wife, I would consider myself a typical american. I am unemployed, have been for eight months now. I have applied for a total of 118 jobs I have had 11 call backs for jobs within the us… Only to find out that I am either not qualified enough or too qualified. Were are these so called Jobs that we are to lazy to find?? I used to be a soldier! but not now.. Some People would have considered myself a hero.. Instead I’m compared to a stray animal, called a bum, and aparently all I do with my unemployment is buy drugs. I will say this regardless of what happens monday these comments will not be forgotten.. Do what is right for the people of this great nation. Just imagine 12 million people with nothing to lose. What good can come of this honestly!!”

    There was another i wanted to post but i couldn’t find it. i broke to tears when i read it, a father whose son is in iraq and all this poor boy can think about is his father who is unemployed here in the states. he offers to send money but the father keeps telling the boy to worry about himself, that he is putting his life in danger as it is being in the war. who could stand up to that? i don’t understand our supposed representatives when they are putting our own soldiers in danger and completely belittleing what they are fighting and losing their lives for. it just makes me sick

    ‘Plenty of prisons,’ said the gentleman, laying down the pen again.
    ‘And the Union workhouses.’ demanded Scrooge. ‘Are they still in operation?’
    ‘Both very busy, sir.’
    ‘Oh. I was afraid, from what you said at first, that something had occurred to stop them in their useful course,’ said Scrooge. ‘I’m very glad to hear it.’
    ‘Under the impression that they scarcely furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to the multitude,’ returned the gentleman, ‘a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?’
    ‘Nothing!’ Scrooge replied.
    ‘You wish to be anonymous?’
    ‘I wish to be left alone,’ said Scrooge. ‘Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don’t make merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned-they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.’
    ‘Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.’

    ‘If they would rather die,’ said Scrooge, ‘they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”

    Stace, and Edward,
    Excellent! You have a way with words. I have been seeing several things mentioned on some sites. I googled them. They all scare me.
    1. The book- House of Bush House of Saud. 2.The Carlyle Group. 3. Consequence Management Response Force.4. Blackwater. I thought when W Bush was elected, his dad would run everything as a CIA operation. As he did when he was prez. Reading about this stuff, I wonder , is this even America?
    I keep hearing people say vote them all out. What makes us think our votes are counted? If they are so powerful and wealthy, they can’t buy electiona? SCOTUS said W was elected.
    These people can srart wars, cause a depression. I am scared.

    Haven’t been able to sleep. After looking up Lisa’s info, I may never get a good nights rest again. It’s 1984. We have been so unaware of so much. I grew up being so afraid of communists. Hate that ideology. Someone told me if the Americans ever lose their way, it will be from the right, not the left. And they said everything will be done in the interests of national security. All wars are planned. By all sides. War is profitable. And controls population of the planet. I told this man he was crazy, un-American . Just reading about the carlyle group made my blood run cold. Still more to read. I voted for both Bush presidents. Doesn”t anyone in congress, Wahington, care about it? Are they all in on this? I hrard Saudi owns the US. Thought it was a joke. God help us all is right. They can stop jobless benefits, hell, they can stop whatever they want to.

  37. Mizgetitrite says:

    The shame of it all. What is wrong with those boneheads in Washington? In their words the unemployed has no motivation to get a job. BS!!! Can those senators publish a list of where these jobs are?I bet that they can’t because there are not 3million jobs available in the US. If you are lucky enough to get a call back, you are either overqualified or not qualified enough. I bet that they would pass this bill if it affected them or theif families or friends. November is not that far away, so you Mighty folks, be prepared to be replaced. You won’t help the very people that voted you into office and that is not acceptable. Be warned, you will need our help to stay in office, but we won’t give you an extension either.

  38. YOGI 87 says:

    IT’S SAD TO KNOW THAT THESE REPUBLICANS REALLY THINK WE ARE JUST A BUNCH OF LAZY BUMS.HOW CAN YOU REST AT NIGHT KNOWING SOMEWHERE A FAMILY IS SLEEPING IN A CAR, PARK, OR SHELTER ALL BECAUSE YOU PUT THEM THERE. ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED WHAT YOU DO TO OTHERS WHETHER IT’S GOOD OR BAD YOU WILL GET IT BACK THREE TIMES FOLD.

  39. Barbara says:

    First and foremost, I want and need a job. Unemployment was applied for 3 months after I lost my job, not by my choice. Within short time I was forced to return my vehicle because I could not keep up with the payments. Next I moved in with a friend and her family to ensure that I could continue looking for work, without the burden of living in a card board box. The job search continues, but the lack of adequate public transportation and employers that are not flexible with starting times, I have limited to the number of jobs I can apply for. Why can cities (as large as mine is…Phoenix Arizona) run transit systems that will allow people like me that are willing to work any hour any day and shift the means to get there, oh yeah, this might create a few more jobs in the transit system. Why does it take a non-educated person like me to come up with an idea that might work. Time for these politicians to pull their heads out and listen to those that voted them there. Their personal agendas are pathetic to say the least. Lastly, while I was gainfully employed, and several occasions, I was asked (actually told) that I would be working the holiday or my vacation was canceled due to project deadlines, etc. How dare them leave us hanging… I hope they will suffer as they have made American people suffer.

  45. James Kelso says:

    WE’RE UP TO OUR –S IN DEEER SH-T AND REPUBLICANS HERE IN OK, INHOFE, COBURN, THEY VOTE AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT WOULD HELP THE POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS, FORGOT, NO MIDDLE CLASS,POOR,EVERYTHING FOR THE RICH WHICH THEY ARE WHICH IS WHY THEY OPPOSE ELIMINATING THE TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH. THEY DON’T WANT TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE,THEY VOTED TO KILL THE EMPLOYMENT EXTENSION AND BECAUSE OF THAT TWO PEOPLE WERE FOUD DEAD TODAY HERE IN sAPULPA OK BECAUSE OF THIS EXTREME HEAT HERE, THEIR ELECTRIC WAS SHUT OFF BECAUSE THEIR BENIFITS RAN OUT, AS ONE GUY HAS SAID WE SEND 8,000,000,000 TO PAKISTAN FOR THEIR WATER WORKS BUT CAN’T WON’T HELP THE POOR RIGHT HERE IN THE USA JAMES KELSO TULSA OK

  46. James says:

    What the republicans want is for everything to go ahead fall and let America go into another great depression before it effects them. what I’m saying is they want to be able to keep there money instead of taking the fall with the rest of us. They want to be able to have middle class americans lineing up at there gates doing all there work for 4 bucks a hour. I give props to Obama for fighting not to let this happen. Anyone that vote’s republican is asking to work 60 hours a week for 200 bucks on one of there 6 or 7 houses. Come on people I can’t believe some of the stuff I hear.

  47. tom s says:

    good news about the extension!! i hope the governments next move is to set up training facilities or work camps like back in the day? there are jobs but most people need some retraining which is non-existant in the northeast for instance my( telephone company) skills are not much good in the current job market but a( class b cdl)does alot of good !!

  48. Liz says:

    Just because you vote Democrat doesn’t mean anything sometimes. Sen. Ben Nelson D Nebraska is a case in point. Today he voted no, saying the benefits bill should not move forward.
    I tuned in c-span later. He as pleading for more money for NASA.
    Don’t let any of those highly paid folks at NASA lose their jobs, right Ben? Too bad for the jobless who’ve lost everything. The way these pols are, he probably has a mistress who works for NASA. On the other hand 2 democrats voted for the extension. Sen. Snowe and forget the other. I will find out and remember her.
    My own state TX had Cornyn R and Hutchinson R vote no. No surprise. They know where the money is. They give TX a bad name, just like W.

  49. BigCat says:

    It appears as though they are cutting COBRA benefits from this bill. No one in the media is talking about this. Anyone have info they can share?

    Article Re-Write

    Lisa I read your entry, Here is info which just vanished two days ago, my best yet.

    Consequence Management, Blackwater, I assure you the Powered Deity is the Installation, not to be confused with The Eagles Nest to the Notorious Madman Adolf Hitler. Illegal Regimes, Brainwashed, Mind Control, Total Desensitization, Killing Machines, Robots. The Goon Squad. Of the Hitler Era thus he so did create a Genetic Deficiency to the Superior Being, the Ultimate Power and Army to Enforce his Intent to Dominate the World. Actual Creation, the Inability, Tremendous Critical Thinking Deficit, the Inability to Rationalize, and could not Function Without Command. Adolf Hitler also Utilized the American Constitution to His Benefit and Reign to Power. THE GOON SQUADS ARE ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL AS THEY DEMONSTRATE DOMINANCE AND THE IGNORANCE OF THE PARLIAMENTARY INCOMPETENCY NON-EXISTANCE. BARBARIC AS THE SALEM WITCH HUNTS, BEARING CONCLUSION, THE THIRST FOR BLOOD. THE COUNTLESS BUTCHERED, WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND MEN UNTO THE NAME OF CHURCH AS WITCHES, WHEN CHURCH AND STATE HELD MEDICAL DOCUMENT BY PHYSICIAN, FACT, THE BEHAVIORS WERE ATTRIBUTED TO THE RED MOLD HAVING BEEN GROWN IN WHEAT FIELDS OF A PARTICULAR AREA, BEING INGESTED. THE 20′S SURGED ANOTHER EVENT OF MOLDED WHEAT. TODAY, RED MOLD IS MAIN INGREDIENT FOR LSD.

    The Installatiion Exists and has Governed years by Breathen of the Secret Societies and Figureheads. Years since the 30′s has the Installation shown Strength as to the One World Order, through Hitler, obvious during the Bush Administration, George Bush during 80′s stated with Intent, Determination and Rule he would Empower A One World Order. Hearing the Absurdity did I recognize the Severity of. Immediate thought, Hello Hitler.
    The One World Order, definitive to Global Dominance, thus renamed to New World Order, same Content, same Pretense. This is now required Study in Colleges and Universities, Propaganda, as Dictators Rule all Educational Studies will be of they Themselves, Their Doctorate. MARK, WITH INFO OF CONSEQUENCE MANAGEMENT I AM CERTAIN YOUR MILITARY DATA BANK DID NOT INFORM YOU OF THE INSTALLATION, 90 PERCENT OF THE POPULOUS IS TOTALLY UNAWARE.

    Troy and Marc Absolutely Figureheads all have their “HOUNDS OF BASKERVILLE”, reading, every word of every page. Our words are very Advantageous to them. Application of REBUTTLE, THE MOST POWERFUL – STRATEGY, Appeasing what the Human Mind wants to Hear, and Approachable Defenses. PHONE MONITORING, YOU BET, IF ONE IS FOUND TO BE OF VIABLE THREAT, OF GREAT INTELLIGENCE, TEACHING, KNOWLEGE OF GOVERNMENT, ONE WILL BE AT THE MERCIES FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.

    FACT, FOR CERTAIN OBAMA AND HOUNDS ARE READING THESE ENTRIES. BEING A DOER COMPLIMENTS THE CONSCIOUS OBSERVER AND LISTENER. NO DOUBT.

    ALL CONCLUSIVE AND DEFINIE DOES THE TROJAN HORSE STRATEGY REMAIN VISIBLE AND COMPREHENSIVE
    REFLECTING TO THE EVENTS OF SELLING OF THE PORTS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. DURING THE W. ERA, WERE THE ELITE CAUGHT IN DECEPTION UNTO THE PEOPLE AS THE DEAL OF THE DOMINANCE ELEMENT WAS ABOUT TO UNFOLD, SO THEY THOUGHT. RECALLING UNION ADDRESS, W. APPEARING AS THE LITTLE BOY CAUGHT WITH HIS HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR, STATED ” I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT”.

    GENTLEMEN

    FACT, WHO WERE THE TWO MEN SHAKING HANDS UPON SEALING THE DEAL, SO THEY THOUGHT, AS TERRORISTS AWAITED A FINAL CLEARANCE TO EMBARK UPON THOUSANDS, TO UTILIZE THIS ENTRY TO THEIR FULLEST ADVANTAGE. WHO WERE THEY, AS THEY WERE FULLY AWARE. WELL, IS BIG SISTER WATCHING YOU?

    NOW WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL ELIMINATION OF COASTAL COAST GUARD AS COST REDUCER, YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY? NOT ONLY IS OBAMA WALKING THE HAMAS TERRORIST ASSOCIATED THROUGH THE GATES HAND IN HAND, LEAVING THE MOST CRITICAL AND CLOSET POINTS OF ENTRY OPEN WAGES SELF EXPLANANTION. AGAIN, THERE IS FUNDING OF BEHIND CLOSED DOORS MONEY FILTERING TO THE ARAB WORLD, MILLIONS WITHIN TWO YEARS CALCULATING TRILLIONS FOR THE TAX PAYERS WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE, OF A NON-EXISTANT JOB MARKET.
    THE CLOSED DOORS EVENTS ARE ILLEGAL AND IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES OF CRIMES UNTO THE PEOPLE BEING NOT OF THE PEOPLE. VIOLATIONS OF CONSTITUTION AND THE OATH OF PRESIDENT. IMMIGRATION UNTO THE US MUST BE ELIMINATED FOR THEY ARE ILLEGAL AND NOT OF THE BEST INTEREST TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY THE UNITED STATES. THE CONSTITUTION IS OF SOVERAN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE US HAVING BEEN DISGARDED AND APPLIED AS LAST WEEKS TOILET PAPER.
    MY PREVIOUS ARTICLES EXPLAIN IN DEPTH. THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT DEEM AND MANDATE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AFTER. PERHAPS SOME NEED AND REQUIRE A REFRESHER COURSE APPLICABLE TO ELECTED POSITIONS. DOES AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY HAVE RING TONES?

    THE MOST INTERESTING READING IN MY YEARS WITH ELOQUENCE, ACCURACY, INFORMATIVE AS WELL AS PROVIDING HISTORICAL EVENTS – THE PHONE BOOK. THE YEAR OF 1999 DID THE WHITE PAGES LIST AND DOCUMENT THE COMMUNIST PARTY, SINCE HAVING CONFORMED POSSIBLY TO UNLISTED. MAYBE IN YOUR AREA. CLEVELAND OHIO ONCE HELD THE LARGEST CHAPTER TO THE PARTY, WHEREIN SOME PREFER TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE DEMINISHED. LISTING TOWER CITY OF CLEVELAND IS ACTUALLY ” THE WORLD TRADE CENTER OF CLEVELAND ” SINCE HAVING BEEN ELIMINATED FOR THE REFUSAL OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 11, REASONS. FACT, PILOTS WERE SEARCHING FOR STRUCTURES RESEMBLING THE TWIN TOWERS, WHEREIN THE MOST WEALTH AND POWER EXISTED IN A HISTORICAL STRUCTURE. RECALL THE DAY IN WHICH I WALKED LISTENING TO OTHERS IN PANIC AND FEAR, QUESTIONING, ARE YOU NOT AFRAID? REPLY, THEY WILL NOT RETURN FOR AN ENCORE, A REPEAT PERFORMANCE WOULD LEAVE THEM VULNERABLE. VOICES STATING THE ATTACK IS LEADING TO THE WHITE HOUSE. NOT THEIR INTENTION FOR SUREDLY, TARGET, WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRST. TO CRIPPLE THE POWER AND WEALTH.

    A NOTE, THE CURE FOR CANCER, YES THIS DOES EXIST. EVENT, MEDIA VISITED FACILITY, UPON QUESTIONING AND VIEWING TALL CARTS ACCOMMODATING PRECISIONED TRAYS OF VIALS. QUESTION DIRECTED, DID INDIVIDUAL STATE THIS WAS ONLY FOR THE WEALTHY. CONTROVERSY INDEED. THE AMOUNTS VISIBLE HELD THE CURE FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD. MY THOUGHTS WERE OF ALL THE CHILDREN HAVING SUFFERED AND PERISHED IN THE NAME OF MONEY. YEARS PASSED, SILENCED AS QUICKLY AS APPEARANCE. REQUESITIONED TO MEDIA, AGAIN VISITED, THE DOOR WAS SLAMMED OF THE SECURED FACILITY WITHOUT WORDS. APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS. ABSOLUTE THE POPULOUS IS NOT INFORMED AND THE MEDIA IS LIMITED, LET THERE BE VOICE. THE DATA AND INFO, DO I FEEL WE HAVE AN ABOVE GROUND AREA 51 UNCOMPREHENSIVE AND CONSIDERED OBSCURE.

    NOW WE HAVE THE PASSING OF EXTENDED BENEFITS FOR SOME, THE LONG TERM ARE STILL AT DEBATE. THERE SHOULD NOT BE QUESTION OR HESITATION FOR DECISION. EXEMPLARY HAS BEEN THE DECEIT OF FUNDING AND THE RESIDUAL AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE MUSLIM WORLD PRIORITIZED. A MOUNTAIN CONQUERED, BECOME NOT LAXED AND DISCONCERNED FOR YOU NOW SEE A TEMPORARY QUEST TO YOUR TROUBLES AND WOES. REMAIN VIGILANT FOR YOURSELVES AS OTHERS, THE CONSTRUCTION IS JUST NOW BEGINNING. CERTAIN THESE CONFLICTS HAVE REIGNED AN AWAKENING OF GOVERNMENT AND LIFE EXTENDING BEYOND THE SCOPE OF UNEMPLOYMENT. NOVEMBER AGAIN WILL I STRESS RESEARCH YOUR CANDIDATES NOT ONLY BY TWO GENERATIONS BUT BY FOUR, RESEARCH THEIR ASSOCIATION THEREOF, YOU WILL SEE THE HEIRLOON OF POLITICAL POLICY. ONCE STATING, ELIMINATE ALL, START WITH A RE-BIRTH, A TRUTHFUL AND BETTER UNDERSTANDING. POLITICAL PLOYS, IF YOU WILL, ARE ILLEGAL, THIS IS NOT PARLIAMENT, NOR ARE THE SEATS FOR CHALLENGINGS OF TESTOSTERONE. ELIMINATE THE REAL PEASANTS.

    FOR PAST TIME ENTERTAINMENT, RESEARCH PAST PRESIDENTS, CONGRESSIONAL AND SENATORAL FIGURES.

    ON A LIGHTER NOTE; YES LISA DADDY BUSH STILL RULED THE COUNTRY. RECALLING ALL ADDRESSES OF W. DID AND IN FACT WAS SR. FRONT AND CENTER ROW FLIPPING PAGES FOR CERTAINTITY W. PRESENTED AS DADDY WROTE IT. CONVERSING WITH A NEWS CASTER HE WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE, NO LONGER WAS DADDY THE FOCUS. SEPTEMBER 11, ARCHIVING NOTED NEWSPAPERS OF EVENT, DADDY WAS ON FULL PAGE VIEW WHILE W. ADDRESSED, FOCUSED AND STEADFAST, LOOKING UPON WITH ARMS CROSSED AND HAND TO CHIN. GUESS WE WILL NEVER KNOW, DID W. DELIVER AS DIRECTED? ABSOLUTELY EVERY POSITION, THOUGHT, PROCEDURE AND DIRECTION WAS OF BUSH SR. LISA.

  51. James Kelso says:

    THESE REPUB’S WILL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO KEEP THE BUSH TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY,THOSE MAKING 250,000 AND UP. YOU CAN BET EVERY REPUBLICAN POLITCIAN MAKES FAR MORE THAN THAT. THOSE VERY SAME FAT CATS ARE THE VERY GUYS THAT KEEP THE REPUBLICANS IN OFFICE. THE AFFLUANT GET OUT AND VOTE TO KEEP THOSE APATHETIC P—KS IN OFFICE. NOW THEIR ARE MORE REGISTERED DEM’S THAN REPUB’S IN OUR NATION. BUT WE DEMOCRATE THAT MAKE LESS THAN 25O,000 YEARLY DON’T VOTE. IF WE CAN GET THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION, POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS OUT TO VOTE IN NOV. , WE CAN ROOT THOSE NARCISITIC P—KS OUT OF OFFICE. GET MINIMUM WAGE TO A LIVABLE WAGE,15.00 AN HOUR. NOW THEIR ARE REPUB’S THAT MAKE LESS THAN THE 250.000,BUT YOU WON’T GET MANY TO VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, MY FRIENDS HERE IN OK ARE MOSTLY REPUB’S,DEMOCRATS IN OK ARE EXTENT, BELIEVE THAT MOST DEMOCRATS ARE WELFARE RECIPIENTS. NOT TRUE THO’. EVERY COUNTY BUT ONE VOTED FOR MCCAIN, WOULD YOU THINK A LITTLE RACISM?

  52. Brenda Rooney says:

    SHALL WE, ADD TO THE LIST OF PRIORITIES OVER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AS OBAMA IS “NOW” DIRECTING CLARITY ” TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ”

    PLEASE, KEEP READING MR. PRESIDENT, A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT AS THE CLICHE’ IS APPLIED.

  53. James Kelso says:

    THIS BAFFOON OK SEN COBURN IS ON THE C-SPAN FLOOR AT THIS MOMENT SAYING IT IS NOT TRUE THAT WE REPUBLICANS ARE NOT COMPASSIONET, HE SAYS HE IS CONCERNED FOR THE CHILDREN THAT WILL HAVE TO SHOULDER THIS DEBT BURDEN OF THE EXTENSION BILL, A LOT OF THOSE CHILDREN ARE HUNGRY NOW, SCREW THE DEBT, HE DIDN’T WORRY ABOUT THAT WHEN BUSH WAS HIS BOSS.

  54. john mallard says:

    WHY DOES MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CARE, THEY ALL HAVE JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. Brenda Rooney says:

    THE ADVERSITY OF REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT BELIEFS ARE VERY DISTURBING, AS MANY STILL DO NOT REFLECT UPON BELIEF AND EMBETTERMENT, OR THOSE MOST SUITABLE AND PROMISING BY RESEARCH.
    THE ROOSEVELT PARTE’ OF KISSING BABIES ARE OVER AND THE ADRENALIN UNCONSCIOUS, I AM DEMOCRAT, I AM REPUBLICAN THE LIMITED IDEALS OF CONFIGURATION “I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY”

    THE MIND GREAT IS NOW REQUIRED IN A WORLD OF DOMINANCE AND DECEPTION, NOTHING LESS THAN STRATEGY WILL PREVAIL.

  56. derrik says:

  62. Cindy says:

    I have already lost my place to live. My license expired and also my pharm tech cert. I have no food to eat and am not able to get health insurance because i am not blind, disabled or over 65. I am 51 and have never had health insurance. Being i only had enough for shelter because i could not find affordable housing. 1000 a month plus utilities and when you apply for food stamps it was at best maybe 10-15 dollars. What an insult! But we kept on even going hungry paying taxes ect. ect. Congress does not care then nor now. People are already homeless, starving and without any recourses. It doesnt matter who you vote for, they make promises for a better life and when they get into office all bets are off. They dont care about the babys that are going to suffer because they already are. They dont care that they wont have a place to sleep, They are already homeless. No Santa Clause. They will be the first to tell your baby he doesnt exist. Get over it. Dry your eyes because the big guys living high on the hog DONT GIVE A SHIT! It is already happening people and its been happening for awhile. Just a good example of tell you what you want to hear and we still are strugling even without an exstention tier 5. I have already lost everything and im sure it makes the big cats happy because i was just taken off the list of unemployed because benefits ran out. They will consider that 1 less to help and it will lower the unemployment number. CATCH 22 no matter what. I have passed the point of desperation and know am just very angry. When do they start listening? They havnt yet. Homeless in the USA.

  63. Santa Avance says:

    Well, this page looks way more professional than my aol blog. I think I might use WordPress aswell.What do you think? Regards.

  64. I agree… greentea will give you energy.. its like whole wheat bread compared to the analogy of coffee.. green tea is just the best legal energy booster :)

  65. hello, what are you doing today?

  66. FED UP! says:

    People need to remember that this is an extension for those who have been on it for a long time. It doesn’t affect those who haven’t been able to find work and started receiving benefits recently.

    I can’t believe people are crying to get unemployment benefits after TWO YEARS! If you’ve gone 2 years without a job, you aren’t looking hard enough! There are other programs out there beyond unemployment. There’s welfare and food stamps and medicaid. There is NO MONEY to keep paying people who aren’t looking for work! Change over to the other programs if you want to live off the govt.

  67. FED UP! says:

    James Kelso, if you are Native American, meaning American Indian, then the govt is already paying you money every month. You have your tribe you can go to.

    I too am Native American, because I was born in America. I’ve been unemployed before and 6 weeks to find a job before it ran out. Times were tough then as well. I had to move out of state in order to find a job.

    People cannot expect to live off the govt until the job you want becomes available. Get out there and look! There are places that are hiring. Some news channels report on who is looking for work. Check out of state, you just might have to move!

    Same thing goes for the pharmacy tech who says there are not jobs out there. My wife’s store is interviewing pharmacy techs as I type this! New pharmacies are going up all over the country, meaning new jobs. When things get bad you can’t just sit there and wait. Check other cities, other states. Do what YOU have to do in order to survive. Living off the govt, i.e. taxpayers, is NOT the answer!

  68. We all genuinely take pleasure in perusing any responses placed regarding your own internet site quite a few of them are usually rather amusing.

  69. jobs in dc says:

    Changing career may be a massively scary thing to do, which is why so quite a few people put it off. Breaking down the change into easily manageable parts will make it feel easily achievable.
