On Cspan blah blah healthcare, blah blah nuclear energy, blahblah health care, blah blah gas tax. Unemployment ??? Anyone???? Nope, guess not. Are they really this clueless???
Nuclear power would creates many jobs, cheaper energy, and eventually help every one of us! Our problems are more imitate! One of our imitate problems is paying ridiculous electric bills. I am as hurting as the next. I JUST DO NOT THINK I EVER WANT TO BE IN THIS POSITION AGAIN. So any thing I here that will help that not happen is still good news.
Who knows!! I think its all really confusing. I was just looking thru all the previous posts and if i had a dime for every time some typed "vote tomorrow" or "will be passed next week" I'd probably be able to buy some groceries. This has been going on for over a month. So basically, you're guess is as good as everyone elses.
Urggghh!!! I would just to know we we stand on this whole thing. It's crazy!!

Nobody wants to be in this position. I don't think there is one person here that would rather collect unemployment than have a job. While i agree that nuclear power would create jobs, it is not something that will happen right away. So, while they scratch their heads and figure out how to create enough jobs so we can all get back to work, we need them to pass this bill so we can "survive" while they are figuring it all out!!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) threatened to hold a midnight vote yesterday to proceed to long-delayed legislation extending unemployment insurance for up to 20 weeks. That vote didn’t happen, but it might not have to. Reid’s office said this morning that party leaders “should be able” to reach agreement to skip that step and move the bill directly to the floor. No timeline was mentioned.
Can someone with more courage than me call Reid's office and see if they can confirm this story or try and get a update on this if possible?

Absolutely, I just did not want to down a good thing. Even though its not prioritized correctly.

I believe a few people from Unemployed friends tried calling and the phone just keeps ringing. No answer, no voicemail. However, this was just posted:
Talked w/Sen. Sherrod Brown's office in Columbus, Ohio yesterday. His aide phoned me today with the following information. If you aren't happy with the information I received, please don't yell at me for posting it. I'm only the messenger!
Brown is hoping for a vote today.
Benefits will not be retroactive but will go forward from the date the extension is signed by the President.
Yes, extension will apply to those who have exhausted benefits.
Everyone who has exhausted benefits will have to contact their respective unemployment offices for instructions on how to claim extension benefits.
There is some addtional info in the post. Here is the link if you want to read the rest PHONE CALL FROM SHERROD BROWN
