But you all know, it's only a 30 day extension, I guess this gives the government 30 days to figure how to get the funds straightened out and allocated in the proper places? At some time or another fella's, somebody is going to have to be the bad guy and drop the hammer and say, NO MORE EXTENSIONS! I wonder when that time is good? Is when unemployment falls back down to below 5% or what?

I agree with you Chub on the NO MORE EXTENSIONS. At some point time runs out. What then? Currently, I'm employed and I thank the Lord for that. But I know if I were unemployed and drawing a check that someday the checks will quit coming. I hope in the 30 day extension everyone looking for a job gets one but its not likely. The money will run out eventually. Bunning didn't deny anyone the money they were entitled to, he just said no to the money beyond what unemployment offers anyway.

I truly feel bad for those who have lost their jobs and don't know when or where the next job will be. And I hope the economy picks up enough to get working people working. The November elections should prove VERY interesting.

God bless America!
