WASHINGTON, DC - Today Congressman Matsui joined incoming Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders to call on Congress to pass an extension of unemployment benefits. 800,000 jobless workers nationwide will exhaust their benefits on December 28th.

I don’t know whether this bill passed or not, however, isn’t this typical of socialist/liberal thinking...give a person more so he is obliged to do less.

Someone on another thread suggested making the extended benefits sort of like a loan and subject to being paid back. Wanna see how quickly those folks happen to miraculously find work?
