What about a paid vacation? After all, it gets stressful being on unemployment for a long time.

I want at least 10 years of back pay unemployment. Since I quit working in 2,000 due to old age. That should be covered to.

The scary thing is that most people, me included, would not realize this is satire. I thought it was a genuine news article.

Thank God this is satire. Knowing this woman should seriously be locked up behind padded doors, in a very tight and special jacket, and hearing things she actually HAS said, I was worried for a minute there. That lady is absolutely nucking futs.

I don’t believe the current law pays for weekends but I guess it would Monday holidays. The American people would be delighted to get such extra payments, but remember they are fully taxable.

“Extending unemployment benefits is good for the economy and helps create jobs.” - Typical commie ‘RAT rant.
