Should the United States Congress (and president) extend Unemployment Insurance?

It's only the Republicans of Congress that are fighting extending unemployment benefits. They've even been rude enough to call the unemployed Hobo's. Thousands of jobs are lost every day.

Our economy is sinking into quick sand, our financial institutions are screwing us with their outlandish interest rates, health insurance premiums goes up and allowed services become less. I really wonder what the Republican unemployed feel about this? I think that the Republicans continue to shoot themselves in their feet, even though they started all this and they will pay dearly in November, while they continue to fool themselves into thinking they're they're going to take back power.

They have a rude awakening coming.

Yes, the benefits should be extended. These folks have been trying but no jobs. People who get unemployment checks will actually spend their money, this is only good for the economy in the long run.

I couldn't get by on unemployment, but it would be a huge help if the worst were to happen to me.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
