    23 KB Jim Bunning killed the unemployment benefits extension. What now? Anonymous 02/26/10(Fri)18:09 No.230318  
    By Laurent Belsie / February 26, 2010

    When Sen. Jim Bunning (R) of Kentucky held up a bill authorizing the extension of certain unemployment benefits Friday, he put the plans of hundreds of thousands of unemployed Americans on hold.

    With those benefits set to expire at midnight Saturday, here's a look at what they can expect:

    1. What's the immediate impact?

    There's little practical impact over the next few days. Even though the extended benefit program officially ends Saturday, unemployed Americans will still be able to file Sunday and Monday for the benefits they are entitled to this week. It's the benefits for next week that would be affected.

    Jim Bunning is the man.

    This thread makes him look bad but he stated:

    "I'm not going to renew this... Because we're not going to pay for this."

    Amen. You can't give benefits on a 1.4 trillion dollar deficit and a 12 trillion dollar debt.

    COBRA benefits need to end as does insurance for those who are unemployed.

    We can't sustain it.

    An Anon posted a link yesterday to a story told by a teacher fearing that we're raising an entire generation of welfare queens and morons.

    This is unsustainable. A culture that supports having multiple children per parent will not result in "DIS OUR COUNTRY NAW," it will just result in mass starvation. It's why I don't donate to those "Save the African children" funds. You're feeding a kid who will most likely have 3 kids. These 3 kids will require the same assistance, and since the father KNOWS you'll offer your wallet on a silver platter, he'll continue reproducing. Population caps are necessary to establish environmental equilibrium. I'm not saying they should reduce the population MANUALLY, just control the birth rate by reducing or eliminating incentives (Welfare) to procreate excessively.

    I have a summer place on the Canadian border. People there work 20 weeks in the summer and collect unemployment for 26 weeks in the winter. They go ice fishing, snowmobiling, hunting and cross country skiing all winter.(work a few side jobs for cash) It's a low budget lifestyle....but you get 32 weeks vacation.
