Extend Unemployment–NOW!
In Current Events, Economics on November 29, 2010 at 02:11

By the End of the Year, if nothing is done, over two million people will lose their unemployment insurance. In less than two day, 800,000 will lose their insurance. Some will be out on the street, some will lose their homes and others will have to live without food and heat.

Don’t call on Congress to extend unemployment if you feel:

1. Unemployed people are to blame for job outsourcing and the laws passed that makes outsourcing
(link)

3. You believe that low wage/minimum wage workers make more unemployed than taking a job. It doesn’t. Unemployment only pays more to high wage workers that would have to take part time jobs at a tax cut for they have put more into the system and would get more back. Yes, for a few jobs, unemployment pays more than taking some jobs. But for the majority, it doesn’t.

4. You believe jobs are available for every unemployed person and they aren’t taking them.

5. You don’t care about Americans.

Happy Holidays.

1. After the delay last summer, money flow came almost to a screeching halt in my neck of the woods.

It was pretty eerie.

Maybe if more folks understood that money is immediately sucked out of their economies when congress delays on this, more would actively push for extensions, regardless of employment status.

2. Right you are

MrsC. When this money is cut off, all but the well off suffer.

3. And, stop taxing it.

Why the hell is unemployment compensation federally taxable? And why doesn't anyone mention it when speaking of tax cuts or tax holidays or the like?
