Gee, you guys didn't care one way or another if unemployment benefits expired when you passed that budget deal. Your concern is disingenuous. And if you haven't noticed, Obamacare is the 800 lb gorilla in the room, not minimum wage.
As far as the elections go, the term "turkey shoot" comes to mind.
Are you really trying to claim that Democrats are responsible for the fact that unemployment benefit extensions were ended?
And....why are you trying to derail the thread by including those comments on Obamacare? Have you no respect for BDBoops's thread?
Yes. The democrats demand too much. They want an indefinite period where people can stay on unemployment. The problem is the states carry most of the burden.
Most states cannot afford the additional expense and cannot wait for the federal government to send reimbursement payments.
Many states have by legislation gone ahead and shortened the length of time a person can collect or have set lower limits on weekly benefits. Or both.
If you're running for office is it legal for me and my husband to send you cash?
And I'll work for free.

Why is it on boards we can talk and work things out and chow down on issues all for free but we send people to Washington or Ottawa or London and the list can go on.
I'm tired of these peoples games.
