Pass this Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This bill has alot of downsides. I am hoping for an unemployment extension but this bill will reduce the amount of unemployment to be received in many states which is usually already half of your normal earnings. For example if you normally earn 10/hr and 400 a week, you prob receive around 200 a week in benefits now..if you qualify under tier one..your benefit amount will be reduced to equal 100 a week..
Push this bill , the depressed states need help now, Thank You Mr. Weller for trying to get us immediate help..
Anon you need a new calculater get down to Walmart soon. This bill puts some of the burden on the states that couldn't care for their own citizens.. Michigan for one with over paid state employees and Mayors giving jobs and money to his relatives..
Ear Marks, Pork barrel spending, hedge funds ====Democrats that have padded the war bill so much it is impossible to pass...
