I’m so jealous. We’re supposed to get all the snow up here in Western MA, but we’ve had, like, 10 inches all year. Pathetic. Enjoy it! Storms like that are once in a lifetime.

Yes, that’s exactly what the congress should do for citizens, but it is always not done perfectly, isn’t it.

The last day to qualify for a first extension of benefits is 12-20-09 (at least in CA) and my benefits end 1-2-10. Will I qualify for an extension under the new bill? The woman at the EDD seemed to think so and that I would then also be able to get further extensions. Can anyone tell me if any of this is correct? I’m worried out of my mind.

I wanted to say thank you for providing information to the 87% of Americans who make only 10% of the money generated in this country each year, obviously leaving 10% for unemloyment and an astounding 90% of revenue retained by only 3% of America.
I wonder if the founding fathers had this in mind when they laid their life on the line for Capitalism. Don’t get me wrong, it is a far better economic strategy than any other possibility. I just struggle with the application of….of the people by the people and for the people.
A nation divided cannot stand…LINCOLN. How can the leaders of our country ignore this?

I say we back-tax a percentage of the oil companies record $250 billion profits from one quarter of last year, as well as, the $400 billion profit from earlier this year to subsidize the unemployment extensions that will definitely be required. Afterall, those profits played a large part in draining the blood out of the middle class working people of our great country as well as many others!!!

Just a thought…….
