yes. I’M out on this bill. I jumped to its defense but it stinks. No more unemployment welfare unless you do 40 hours of community service !! How could we be so stupid not to demand this for our money!!. We could actually fire thousand of government workers and do their jobs (like cutting grass or filing junk) with community service people. There is dignity in it!! They get off their free loading butts and do some work!! its really the answer. Vote no on the bill.

Yep, exactly about the unemployment. 99 weeks is to much already. Another 13 months is criminal. My hubby says after 6 months or so the unemployment check should start going down. Something like a 1/4 then after a few months to 1/2 and so on. I've heard that 1/3 of people on unemployment will just wait it out until they can't get it anymore. And I agree about community service. There's no good reason they shouldn't.

They say this bill will really hurt small businesses. They've already seen there unemployed taxes(insurance?) go up about double in cost. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

There's lots more they've tacked onto this bill besides the unemployment. I just read it's almost a trillion more dollars in spending. This is totally insane.
