Here`s a goog kick in the junk to all of us who are unemployed!

This hits pretty hard here...
Federal lawmakers are voting not to extend jobless benefits to the
nation's workers. Thursday, 57 senators said "no" to ending a Republican
filibuster for the unemployment bill, effectively killing the measure.

My family and I were relying on unemployment benefits to help pay our bills while I am going to school full time.  I was just given an extension and now they decided to take it away without any notice.  What a joke!

 

Well the good thing is I think I have a job lined up with John Deere.  The problem is I need to get through 2.5 years of school to get it.  We can survive off of student loans for the time being.
The part that gets me is they don't even give you warning.  You think you "X" amount of dollars coming in each week, and then they just cut you off without notice because some yahoo's in Washington decided to "trim the fat", the fat being me.  The only notice I got is the overdraft fee from my bank about the bad check I just wrote at Wal-Mart buying diapers.
I certainly appreciate the system helping me through but some warning would have been appreciated.
Apparently, I am one of the lucky ones who is currently in "limbo" as they say at the unemployment office.  Being I am a full time student I may still be eligible for benefits, the problem is there is only one person handling all of those claims and is severely backed up so it may be months before I see another dime.
What a mess.

 

Pretty sure neither of those options will even come close to paying my mortgage/bills.
