Someone should ask for an injunction claiming she is interfering with the right to petition Congress.

Well the up side to this whole entitlement program, maybe... will be that once the job market does come back, those that want to work will have the pick of the litter when it comes to job openings for the simple fact that DC has created a nation of unemployed lazy couch potatoes, having spent two years paying them, feeding them, and giving them free healthcare.
Maybe...

What happened to equal protection? lots of states with unemployment under 8.5 but over 7.5. We have to pay the bill as will as other states why should we not also get free money from obumber?

Who gets the bill? In normal times, unemployment benefits are funded from a pool that is filled with taxes paid by employers. In a disastrous economy like Baraq has served up, the FedGov loans money to the states after the pool is depleted.

dont they realize all those people will pay no taxes FWIW unemployment benefits above $2400/yr are included in Federal gross wages and also taxed by most states.

...the FedGov loans money to the states after the pool is depleted. So taxpayers pay for it after China approves the loan?

99 weeks of unemployment huh...??
Think of how many “jobs” that will “save”...
The question is, is $300 a week enough in the ‘Hood in Detoilet??
Is 99 weeks enough “Reparations via Unemployment”...??

I have too much pride, I left my home I bought new 19 years ago in Minnesota and took a job in Oklahoma and am paying 2 monthly payments for abode.
I'm a true conservative at heart.
Earn it or don't spend it without just compensation to the giver.

Sorry to hear about your husband. I was layed off in January, my wife a week later. If you include the COBRA subsidy in the stimulus package we've been getting over 5k a month from obumber every sinse. Now it looks like that is going to continue another 3 months, in February that will make it over 60k for a year. That's assuming the additional 13 weeks for stated under 8.5% unemployment.
Am I proud? well lets just say that if we are going to be divided into those that pay and those that get free money. I am all to happy to be on the receiving end.
