Most of these people are unemployed and their emergency benefits have run out. Despite what you hear there is a limit on the benefits an unemployed gets. More than that sometime around Jan 14th EVERYBODY’s federal emergency benefits end because that’s when the program expires. It does not matter if someone has just got on emergency unemployment in August, October or december - they all stop on that date.
What the republicans should do is put up a bill that extends the emergency unemployment benefits for 3 - 6 months. And offer cuts in other places (preferably in places Harry Reid would not like to see cuts) to offset the cost of the emergency unemployment.
This will put Harry Reid and his party in a very difficult position (between a rock and a hard place). It will NOT look good if his party votes against the unemployed victims of this pResident.
If this had been done earlier we would not be seeing 7.8% unemployment because the more people that get back into the program the higher the unemployment rate will reflect Realville as it heads up toward 11%.
Most likely we will see another drop in the unemployment rate next month. This is the time that those who went on emergency unemployment expire and are no longer counted as unemployed. This benefits Obama.
Mitt Romney is right, the rate is dropping as people’s unemployment benefits expire.
This “New Normal” is so surreal to us with a functioning brain.
You’re 100% right. When UE runs out in Jan 2013, if *something* isn’t in-place to quell the growing exasperation and anger, SHTF.
Reid&Co will fight everything to keep it as is, until after Nov 6. the GOP-e doesn’t have the stones to challenge him and the corrupt congress.
The U3 data will continue to drop and show an even bigger gain in Oct, as 11/6 gets here, making 0bummer&Co the heroes. R/R won’t know what hit them unless they go after the U6 data daily and push the truth out there. The MSM will cover, spin, lie... do whatever it takes to get that POS back in.
Seen these?

Everyone is done on January 1 with extensions...No more EUC or EB. The only way for a person to continue receiving UI is if they have entitlement to a regular UI claim....Work in at least 2 quarters...
Prepare for riots in the streets....just cringing at the thought of all of those without any income BECAUSE of the policies of King Bozo Oligarch.
