My neighbor has been on unemployment for over a year. The only reason he started to look for a job was because his checks were about to stop. This is such BS.

I am unemployed and there is NOTHING out there now because of the taxes coming down the pike.

It ain’t fun AND my company and I paid into it for many years, so please spare me.

Same here.... she never sought work until she actually ran out of benefits. Found work cleaning houses.....as soon as the last extension went into effect.....ever-widening caboose back on the couch.

In NY we are looking at over 265,000 people running out of benefits in a few weeks (without this extension)...what happens when the spigot finally runs dry and there aren’t jobs to be had....
REVOLUTION, and it will be against the Socialists.

A relative of mine has been on unemployment for almost two years.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I would have taken a job—any job—by now, rather than sit idle for that long.
