Let’s face it all that voted “NO” have money to pay their bills, go out to eat and go on vacations and want for nothing. Let them walk a mile in someone’s shoes who is unemployed to know what it feel like to not know where their next meal is going to come from or if they are going to have enough money to pay next month’s bills.

UNLESS YOU ARE UNEMPLOYED YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY. I’M DOWN TO MY LAST UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK, I’VE APPLIED TO OVER 150 JOBS SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND NOT ONE INTERVIEW. TELL ME, WHEN MY FAMILY IS WITH NO DINNER WHERE WILL YOU BE HAVING YOURS? THIS IS WHY THERE ARE SO MANY AMERICANS WHO WILL NOT VOTE. WHY BOTHER? WHY SHOULD WE HELP OUR GOVERMENT WHEN OUR GOVERMENT WILL NOT HELP US.

OH YEAH, BIG DEAL SO THEY SENT US STIMULIS CHECKS. WHAT TO KNOW WHERE MINE WENT….STRIGHT TO BILLS. HOWS THAT FOR ENJOYING EXTRA MONEY. AND I’M SURE I’M NOT THE ONLY AMERICAN WHO PUT THAT EXTRA MONEY TO BILLS. WHAT ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN YOUR UNEMPLOYED. TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN TO THE NEAREST WAL-MART??

What has happened to the Republican party that once was? Extending the unemployment benefits would, (1) It will keep monies flowing within the system, which is needed to help people to continue to pay mortgages, buy food, pay bills, etc. (2) If the extension takes effect soon benefit payout’s will be added to 2009 income tax gross, which will increase the amount the of tax the IRS will collect for 2009 and also increase income tax revenue to all 50 states, in other words there will be a return that will greatly lower the initial payout costs of extending unemployment benefits. (3) Lets not forget that is was the taxpayer that bailed out Bear Sterns an investment firm, not a bank and indirectly JP Morgan, a bank, the reason little to almost no government regulation which they are trying to put together now. (4) This will allow the unemployed to continue to look for work while the government looks at all options to lower fuel prices and restoring confidence in our economy. (5) It is the right humanitarian thing to do. On last note, the Republicans want there war money for Iraq and who pays for that? We the people.
