If actions really do speak louder than words, one would have to conclude that the democrats simply seek more jobless.

Bless those eager and looking for work. To Hell with the scumbags perpetuating the dependency.

In a letter to party leaders last week, Sen. Jeff Sessions said that extending the unemployment benefits another year carries a $26 billion price tag.

Yeah? What's his point?

I sure hope they don't plan to just extend the unemployment pay. If they care about people at all, they will also insist on an unemployment pay raise. Where is the decency?

I guess that delaying the inevitable pain until it has to become agony is the same as creating a job-friendly environment...

Some Republicans, though, are demanding that an extension of jobless benefits—and any other form of new spending—be offset through savings or spending reductions elsewhere in the federal budget.

No question about this! You can't keep taking from the productive and giving to the unproductive without repercussions.

I've been out of a real job for 9 months. I've been planning for months to go into business for myself if at the end of December I don't find anything. Unemployment is temporary, it's not supposed to be there for years. I figure I've used up what I've paid in with all those taxes the gov't confiscates from my 35+ years of paychecks, I have to contribute to my own livelihood again even if it means I end up starving for a while.

Life isn't fair, but the Idea of America is still great!

The government puts a 6% tax on earnings to pay for unemployment. That’s not enough, so the states borrow from the federal government to make up the difference.
