What's The Latest News On Extended Unemployment Benefits?

Shame on you congress,you sit your as--- enjoying the Holiday while people who have lost there benefits are scared of what is going to happen to them.I can't wait for Nov elections.say bye bye.I know I can't wait to vote.

Hello to all,
Congress is supposed to vote Monday 21st at 2:00pm. Its a shame how "our country" is treating us when they sit comfortably with big fat checks and pensions. Hopefully Congress wakes up and helps its people out. If they don't extend the benefits, I don't know how I will pay rent and put food on the table.

I hope that these assholes in the senate realize what they are doing to peoples lives      rent, food, and bills is what people are fighting for, these unemployment checks take care of the necessity of living while trying to find another job or train for a trade... These senate people need to come back to the real world      they didn't hesitate about going over and fighting a "war" we had nothing to do with it      they were about terrorist coming to this country, just think what will happen if people start losing their homes, can't pay their bills, or can't buy food for their families---sorry that has already started and these assholes are acting like nothing is wrong in the real world!

Wake Up Congress people, I am about to lose the little that I have because of your vote not to extend unemployment benefits.  I have been out of work for three years and cannot find employment!!!  Would you rather I get in line for Social Security Benefits?  You are rich, have a job with Medical benefits.... I am neither.  I  have worked for 32 years and don't even have lights in my apartment not to mention rent is due!   Please Vote For Extended Unemployment Benefits.

If I have not had an extension and my unemployment is about to run out in illinois can I get a first time extension
