If this happens, you will now refer to them as the 155ers They really should be referred to as victims. I know quite a few people who are jobless right now. I don't see them celebrating receiving their few hundred dollars a week. Instead, I see people just buying food and letting their bills go, all while trying to get any job.

I wasn’t implying that they were celebrating...just anticipating the next media catchphrase.
I don’t cast aspersions on the unemployed...in large part after reading what people are going through here on FR. I could very easily find myself in their shoes someday. Except as one of the self-employed, I don’t think unemployment insurance would even be an option for me.
I do hope that the Republicans hold firm on taking the extra UI time out of TARP or stimulus funds. And the death tax is an obscenity in any form.
