What about 2010 Unemployment Benefits extension, to be? or NOT to be?

What about 2010 Unemployment Benefits extension, to be? or Not to be?
The 2010 Unemployment Benefits extension headlines say it all!

Those of us who are 'fighting the good fight' to try to get our message across to our elected representatives just cannot believe what we are finding to be true on 2010 Unemployment Benefits Extension today.

Once again, our Representatives have gone their own way, 'trilling off to la-la land' without regard for the hurt inflicted upon many hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers.

And once again, the headlines say it all:

The Senate's war on the unemployed (1)

Unemployment bill dealt Senate defeat (2)

Senate defeats unemployment extension (3)

This is in spite of (or who knows - perhaps because of) a plea from President Obama in support of the 'extenders' bill, as it is known.

And here is a headline from abcnews.com which may make SOME people happy!
Bunning Vindicated? Senate Rejects Unemployment, COBRA, Medicare Extension (4)

Here is one headline we were not anxious to see, ever though it is older, it is still appropos (Being at once opportune and to the point, def. from www.thefreedictionary.com/apropos):
Geithner Says Unemployment May Peak in Second Half of 2010 (5)

and one last headline:
2010 Unemployment Benefits Extension Petition Needed? (6)

If you care enough to 'read behind the headlines' then you can do a web search for 'unemployment' and read some of the stories,

or search for '2010 unemployment'

or search for 2010 unemployment benefits extension'

and when you find the stories with all of the comments from 'out-of-work, out-of-luck' Americans, take just a few minutes out of your busy day, and read those comments.

Then if you are still not convinced, do a web search for "Tier 5 unemployment extension' or 'Tier 5 unemployment benefits extension' and read the comments I get DAILY from so many disgruntled out of work Americans who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and have NOWHERE to turn, because, guess what?

There are NO JOBS! There are NO JOBS!
