I have been unemployed for over 1 year and none of the constructiob that was being talked about in San Diego CA has even been talked about!
I am an industrial pipefitter and desperately want to go back to work
I make in 2 days what this unemployment benefit pays when I am employed so you can take it to the bank when I say I want to go back to work!
I have lost my truck and most of my possessions due to lack of work. Sure I need an extention of what little we get on unemployment! How is anyone expected to recover enough on what little we get from UI let alone losing what little we get all together?
Exercise your vote!
The one thing every one of these politicians value more than anything else in the world is being in office!
Let's make it known that if we "the unemployed" can get a bailout these politicians will not be in office next term! Even if we have to hitch hike to the polls!

I don't know if this is suppose to be Tier 5 or what but I found it on WashingtonWatch. I went and verified that this is a bill and it is there.

What you have excerpted above is an amendment to HR 4849 -- the Small Business and Infrastructure Jobs Tax Act of 2010 -- that adds additional funding ($2.5 billion) to and extends the length (through fiscal 2011) of the Welfare Emergency Fund originally established by the Stimulus Act in 2009.
The Welfare Emergency Fund was created to provide more funding to states with increased welfare caseloads as a result of deteriorating local economies.
The Welfare Emergency Fund was an acknowledgment that more people -- fully employed, partially employed, and unemployed -- were going to need financial assistance, that the states needed more resources to be able to respond to this growing need, and that the federal government should play a role. In short, it adds welfare dollars to state coffers -- as the EUC Tiers program provides extra unemployment benefits to be administered by the states' UI system.
HR 4849 does not have any sections or amendments that affect unemployment benefits.
