Unemployment Extension to Get Senate's Attention Next Week

Renewal of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

The extension of unemployment has passed but benifits will end in December for many due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provisions expiring and so the extension only helps thoose who have or will have exhausted their benifits by December 2009. I myself and many others will run out of benifits in January and will not be eligible to recieve the extension that passed in November Does anyone know if Congress is working to extend the ARRA before December is over?????????

NEXT WEEK ... WE NEED IT PASSED .... NOW!!!!!

I have voted rep. since the day I turned 18. Now I hear they are the ones holding up this bill. My last claim is this Sunday and after that money is gone , I dont know what I will do. I can not pay my rent without this money, and I have searched for work and cannot find anything. We need the governments help, and we need it now. Before millions of americans who would work given the opportunity are homeless.

economy

Congress created this economy by their incompetence and lack of control over mortgage lenders and investment bankers. Creating economic havoc and hardship worldwide. They need to stop dithering and pass the unemployment extension. If they can bail out coporate america rewarding their greed and incompetence. Then helping the american worker should be a no brainer and is small compared to the corporate bailout. I suppose we don't have paid lobbyists and large contributions. We only have a vote many times. God Bless America still the best in the world.
