Here is some helpful info if you think that unemployment benefits should be increased or extended. WHY are we taking money from the people with the power to create the jobs? Doesn't make much sense to me. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/12/09/business/main4658832.shtml

If the unemployment rate has skyrocketed that much then chances are Barack Obama may only be a one term president ,but sometimes these poll numbers maybe inacurate or off set just a little bit. But if the unemployment rate is as high as what the number figures show then perhaps the unemployment pay check benifits better get extended for a longer time period.Cause all of those people whom are unemployed need to be able to pay their rent,or home mortages and their utility bills. We cannot let these people be forced to be homeless especially during winter and have little children. We need to make our federal government extend the unemployment benifits money program. Washington better get their butts in gear and try to help this huge issue for unemployment money for these people whom are out of work.

Who is it that you think pays these unemployment benefits you are so eager to generously dole out. BUSINESSES!!! So who is it hurting? EVERYONE especially small business who are having to shell out more and more to PAY for UNEMPOLYMENT!!! How is that HELPING?!!! Is it helping to create jobs I think not! This Some one else needs to pay crap has to stop and we all need to be accountable for becoming more self-sufficient because no one is being helped by relying on someone else. Grab those boot straps people its going to be a LONG ride but its do-able.
