I think it's a temporary boost that is expiring in November. The benefits per recipient will be cut if Republicans do nothing.

Republicans would be wise to get out in front of this and expand the benefits. I doubt they will and getting pegged with "cutting" this program will hurt them at election time.

Neither party has a clue about what's wrong with the economy. So both parties are avoiding talking about unemployment. Meanwhile the off-shoring continues at full speed. The way to cut benefits like this is to get people working again.

The people don’t want to work. They want life off with pay. Full benefits is equivalent to earning $50,000. But no production is required.
