It will really be funny when the liberals find this out..
This Is Important: The Unemployment Insurance Extension Does NOTHING For The 99ers
Like the polarized fighting in the very long comments section there.
To pick on one line in particular:
“Do you politicians understand that it is a smack in our faces to say we are lazy and that we could actually live on $400.00 a week and live well.”
Yes, you can live on $400/wk. That’s $10/hr, which is way more than most people on the planet make. Downsize your lifestyle already.
No, you’re not supposed to “live well” on it. You’re supposed to not starve or freeze to death, and otherwise get by on a socially acceptable minimum; beyond that, we want to make sure you have a motivation to not stay on welfare for the full 99 weeks (or whatever your state’s max is). I’ve been on unemployment, and know how comfortable you can get on it.
