Unemployment Extension FAILED.

[einstein2v]

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- A bill to extend federally-funded benefits for long-term jobless workers failed to pass in the House of Representatives Thursday. To pass the House, the bill needed to capture two-thirds of the votes -- 258 lawmakers voted in favor of the extension, while 154 voting against it. The bill would have extended special federal unemployment insurance benefits through February, calling for $12.5 billion in emergency spending. Without an extension, long-term jobless workers will start losing benefits in coming weeks, with about two million cut off by the end of the year.

In my time at McDonald's I did a lot of hiring. I must say you have to be completely retarded to not get hired at McDonald's.

No one said there wasn't any ugly parts to life.

Unemployment shouldn't be extended again, people need to get off their asses and get some fucking jobs.

With all the spending and propping up the government has been doing a 2nd recession is going to happen and it will be worse than the first one, I just hope that when it does happen we have a government that realizes it can't do anything about it and we can get it over with in 6-8 months.

It annoys me that people feel like they should have free money just because they can't get the job they want and the pay they like. Fuck them.

Unemployment is an insurance not a free handout. We pay into the fund with each pay check. Bastards in Congress. The funds arnt even close to dried up yet.
