until bunny tells me one person she knows who can drive, shower, talk on a phone, and eat at the same time i give her no credit haha
the fed chair is talking quite a bit about unemployment and is going to make it less likely they will cut this years policy spending amount. i think it still might be changed with more weeks in weaker states and less weeks in stronger states if that makes anyone feel better and that's if they make any changes at all. so enjoy your holiday because you won't have a real answer but its just a theme he is really focused on and he has a big stick in DC.

I like to follow Bubble Ben Bernake, because I spent 6 year in finance and investing, and I don't know if any viewed the speech he gave a several months back, but he basically said they expect no dramatic improvement in unemployment until 2015, and that is why they are leaving interest rates at 0%, or .25% to be exact. Housing was a major reason the economy crashed and until you see signs of that sector improving in your local market, don't get your hopes up too much.
that was the theme he was pumping again but changed 2015 to 6.5% unemployment rate. this not the thread for it but bubble ben is delusional only pain fixes economies not giving money to big companies than begging them to hire people and when it does not work given them more. i don't think its fixable to 6.5% unless you stop counting the people that gave up looking. its just something i put out there because he is a very powerful man talking about unemployment.

Option 1: Fully extend the current EUC program and temporary provisions of the EB program for one year.
Option 2: Partially extend the current EUC program by providing at most 14 extra weeks of benefits for one year.
Option 3: Allow UI recipients to finish receiving up to 14 weeks of EUC benefits, depending on the number of weeks of benefits for which they will qualify at the end of December 2012.
Option 4: Extend the current EB program for one year, maintaining full federal funding and allowing states to more easily qualify for the program.
If you are an unemployed worker your eligibility for extended benefits, if an extension is passed, will depend on where you are in your current claim and what type of extension is passed. You may, or may not, be eligible for continued unemployment benefits.
How so? A few of these options are the same or better than we have now. Also, none of this is passed yet.

Due to my individual situation. My husband's state benefit ends on 12/29 so we don't know where we stand. It also looks like y they are going to wait until the last minute. If you read the last paragraph, some people may get cut off.
None of these options are better than what we have that I could tell.
