Big news!

Watching the Ed Schultz Show this evening on MS-NBC, in an interview with Congressman Jim McDermott, Ed mentioned US Senator Debbie Stabenow is working on something for the 99rs. Jim McDermott added if something is to happen for the 99rs, it has to originate from the Senate. And if it gets past the Senate, it would probably get the support of Congress. He went on to mention, a 99r bill originating from Congress would probably not make it through the Senate. This is probably why Congresswoman Shelley Berkley sees an effort by her, just too big a fight. Thus it seems Congress would support 99r legislation, but the fight has to start and win the Senate first.

Since Mitch McConnell and many of his peers have expressed supporting the unemployed; but only if it can be paid for, perhaps a deal can be reached by canceling or modifying existing programs.


I hope the guy who posted this knows what he is talking about. There are a lot of 99er's that need help now.

Wow, good post, thanks for sharing that.

Check out the 1-minute speeches being given by the House of Rep before the adoption of 4213 is done. It allows me to hear each without it being dragged out.

A 'simple majority' which is 218 (there are 435 Representatives in the House)

Ed Shultz looks to talk about the 99ers tonight in his 6:00 PM MSNBC show. I'd tune in to listen if possible.

Schumer indicates 99ers are missing from the recent bill, they need to be 'next'

And the things that he mentions where some money can be made up, can still be made up and used to decrease the deficit. Why cant we do both... these things shouldnt be affecting the unemployment bill.

We could be eliminating our War on Drugs and using those funds to pay for social programs that provide for the general welfare. If you are going to write our elected representatives to Congress, you may want to mention it.
