what i find wrong, on several levels, is that this group of people kept getting extensions while pretty much everybody else got 26 weeks and then turned away... what is it that makes this group get special treatment???And the Dem influenced headlines will read “1.3 Million Fewer on Unemployment”
Awesome job! Folks lost their jobs and cut them off @ Christmas. Nice.
congress actually doing something right for a change?!?
They cut veteran’s benefits but let welfare to illegals continue.
Is this the deadline extended 4 or 5 time and is now so long that it is beneficial to not work? Is this the benefit that you are complaining of that is not being extended?
Indolence should not be rewarded.
Why are Republicans so heartless to pass a budget that doesnt include this?
Meanwhile, tens of hundreds of billions of U.S. tax dollars are being shipped to corrupt Mideastern countries and countries all over the planet in the form of foreign aid.
Those criminals running government should be removed from their positions as soon as possible.

And I'm going to not get a billion dollars if Congress fails to include a billion dollars for me in the budget.
There are 1.4 Million less people working today than when Obama took office. He is a disgrace.
I am in the old industrial midwest. I know many tradesmen and professionals that have been legitimately out of any form of work for over 3 years. Some made their living with their backs....now in their 50’s and early 60’s.....no one will hire them with the 20 something illegals and dreamers three deep for every job. No jobs to train for.
IT jobs? Know lots of computer science grads also unemployable in their field and over qualified for anything else.
Fewer small companies and those left moving to part time due to Obamacare. Fewer large companies and those cutting staff to improve profits or contain losses....fewer workers at each, fewer support people and management...when was the last time a receptionist answered your call? Or a secretary?
Interesting stats here....
Two leap out....
“Most people that hear this statistic do not believe that it is actually true, but right now an all-time record 102 million working age Americans do not have a job. That number has risen by about 27 million since the year 2000.”
Remember...this is during a time woman employment has risen. The American male is being neutered.
“Wal-Mart recently opened up two new stores in Washington D.C., and more than 23,000 people applied for just 600 positions. That means that only about 2.6 percent of the applicants were ultimately hired. In comparison, Harvard offers admission to 6.1 percent of their applicants.”
...and DC is hardly a hotbed of the Puritan work ethic.
Never thought I would see the day that WalMart was “the best steady work” instead of a starter job.
Only somewhat job related but symptomatic of the cause?
“In 1985, there were more than 18,000 banks in the United States. Today, there are only 6,891 left.”
The six largest banks in the United States (JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley) have collectively gotten 37 percent larger over the past five years.
The U.S. banking system has 14.4 trillion dollars in total assets. The six largest banks now account for 67 percent of those assets and all of the other banks account for only 33 percent of those assets.
JPMorgan Chase is roughly the size of the entire British economy.”
Hmmmmmmm. The Plains Indians were destroyed by killing the buffalo, destroying their independence and forcing them on reservations for government beef.
The American middle class being destroyed by the same strategy?
The economic playing field is being tilted more and more toward the Wall Streeters and against the Main Streeters.
Without economic independence, there can be no political independence. How many farmers would have been on Lexington Green had they been in debt to the British banks, fed by the royal governor, and worked as sharecroppers on John Hancock’s estate instead of being freeholding yeomen?
Does anyone know the unemployment rate for people over 55?
They can get off their butts and go to work... mexicans can find work here so WORK!
