Once again, congress has seen to it that many Americans, 1.3 million of them will not get their unemployment benefits again. To make matters worse, hundreds of thousands more will indeed loose their unemployment benefits in the weeks to come.
Of course congress has left to take a week long vacation for the 4th of July holiday. mean while over 1.3 million of their fellow countrymen sit and wonder if they will even have food for their families. The house passed the bill to extend benefits 270 - 153 however, the bill hit a snag in the senate. For a third time in as many weeks they have failed to pass this extension.
By the end of July the number of Americans not getting their benefits will be over 3 million and all because congress was in to much of a rush to pass the extension for these laid off workers. I honestly think every congressman/women should be kicked out of office and replaced. They are not doing their job to aid and help the citizens of this country. I wouldn't expect the president to step in and do anything because he is too busy trying to get 12 million illegal aliens a free ride to citizenship to this country.
I feel for the folks in this country because they can't even depend on our congress to make sure they are getting what they are suppose to get in benefits. How ever long it takes them to get the benefits extended when they get back from their vacation is anybody's guess.
