Washington, D.C. (Mar 24) — Wondering what happened to the bill that left the Senate floor for the House two weeks ago with promises of extending tiers to the end of the year? Well, here’s the problem. The unemployment extensions were attached to a bill that expired last year called the “Tax Extenders” bill provisions within this bill expired on December 31, 2009.
The revenues to pay for the unemployment extensions were earmarked for the same monies that the House in turn utilized to cover the Health Care bill. Consequently, in an article Congressman McDermott | Pass Relief To America’s Unemployed Now we explained briefly the issue regarding a conflict with the Health Care Reform bill and the Tax Extender bill to which, Congress McDermott (D-WA) had pressed for the addition of “weeks” added to a “new bill”.
H.R. 4851, also known as the Continuing Extension Act of 2010, extended the temporary cut-off date for unemployment extension out to April 28, 2010 a 30 day extension from the original sent to the House from the Senate last month. The bottom-line to this whole mess is as convoluted as any information that has disseminated regarding unemployment extensions for months.
There is no funding for the “Tax Extenders” bill the Senate sent back to the House for approval. The monies as stated went to Health Care reform. This explains the hush-hush regarding all of this leading up to Sunday’s vote. Amazingly enough not even the republicans pulled out this “smoking gun” during their debates against Health Care Reform. Obviously, the republican party has had no intentions of providing Health Care Reform or, Emergency Unemployment relief to America’s unemployed.
Again as mentioned in an earlier article on WorldNewsVine, the Easter break is right around the corner and the GOP is stalling all this week regarding the “Fixes Bill”. This means that more than likely, even the latest provision adding additional 30 days is on hold.
Last week, Senator Reid pushed for a vote on the bill however; the GOP stepped right in the way of that ever happening. Senator Kyl (C-AZ) stated the he would not vote on the bill because not all republicans were on the floor.
Again, one anti-American worker republican can hold-up this vote by simply refusing a unanimous consent on voting on the bill. There are enough Democrats in the Senate to pass the bill however, as we’ve bared witness to the childish antics of the republican party this week, any one member can disagree to the unanimous consent and shove the bill to the floor for debate. The same tactic the republicans are using this week regarding the “fixes bill”. The republicans know very well that there are enough votes in the Senate to pass the “Fixes Bill” yet, the GOP continues to play games with American’s lives.
I honestly cannot believe there is one true Red, White, and Blue American that would ever cast a vote for another republican in this union.
Once again, the GOP stands up and shouts, “America’s unemployed workforces are lazy useless people that do not deserve any help at all.” America this is a call to “support” pick-up those phones and start calling every Representative, and Senator in your district and demand to be heard, tell them you want an answer remember, you the American worker hold the key to the office door of the elected official in office now. November is right around the corner; let them know that your intentions are to place them on the “unemployed American Workforce rolls”. Grant it this is an idle threat to those of the GOP, they have jobs lined up from the many rich they bailed out with TARP funds.
Now, we all know the true reason GOP Senators refused to allow TARP money to be used for the unemployed, they knew the monies set aside in this bill were an either/or. That is either the monies go to help the unemployed or the monies go to Health Care Reform, what a total underhanded play by the GOP in Washington.
God Bless the American worker and their families for you know damn certain the GOP won’t.

I/we did not create this depression. We who were gainfully employed in 2008 making a good salary were hit hard. Does the President, Congress or the House think we are happy living on the edge, using our unemployment to get by, using money set aside for retirement in order to pay a mortgage, $690 a month health insurance bill, outrageous car insurance premiums in NJ? I am 60 years old was in a job for 27 years, when the economic bubble burst. And the funny thing is it was a known fact 2 years before it happened. We did not do this to ourselves, people in trusted positions allowed this mess to happen. I do not want to be dependent on unemployment, however, right now it is a necessity until the job market begins to come back. I’ve worked since I’m 13 years old, 2 full time jobs for 13 years, 43 continuous years of employment contributing to unemployment insurance. I am a single mother of daughter is in her first year of college, infact President Obama spoke at her college on Healthcare Reform on Friday. Look we are not all leeches. We just don’t want to lose our homes. It is very devastating losing your job due to budget cuts, when you expected to retire from that job, but it all went out of our control. The government bailed out, banks, Wall Street, and auto makers. We still need help. Infact, last summer I brought my Obama letter for training to unemployment as directed while on unemployment and was treated very poorly, was told they were too busy, with 2 people waiting before me and told me to go get a job at Walmart. There is nothing wrong with Walmart, but I was a Secretary by profession my whole life. I was there because I was supposed to bring my letter to that office. Threw us out basically. I am currently signed up for training, however, the state of NJ ran out of money for training. It was a sad gloomy atmosphere. In the media lots of talk about jobs for men, not much going on for women and many of us are head of their households. On my block alone approx. 4 women have been unemployed for over a year like myself, and another over 2 years. Hired part time and let go. Many jobs require 2 or more years experience for a specific job you never did. I would like to see a fifth or sixth extension for us long time unemployed. It’s tough being hired at any age, forget about 50 or 60. Many of us are without degrees and some with, doesn’t make a difference. Their are just not enough jobs to cover the unemployed. We are in desparate times in a depression..not a recession. We are in desparate need of more teirs 5 and up. We have elect the members of congress who voted this extension down, wish they could
be in our shoes and know how we feel. We just need help or we’ll see many more foreclosures. We have less money to send our children to college. We’re really hurting government has to know that. Congress needs to act expeditiously in passing the extensions for long term unemployed workers Teir 5 and 6 for now. Again we need help now…we did not do this to ourselves our government officials in charge of finances have. This is a plea from a former hardworking individual that Congress add unemployment extensions teir 5 & 6. Maybe the jobs bill will kick in but, it will take time. Losing a long term job is a great loss to any individual. I am very worried about my future just in the short term alone.

This was the truly the sleaziest of sleazy moves the GOP has made to date, agreeing to pass a bill in the Senate that they knew could not be funded only with the hopes it would kill both aid to unemployed American workers, along with the Health Care Reform Bill…. total lowlifes, they took a 5 trillion dollar surplus and squandered all of that along with an additional 10 trillion dollars on a lie, a phony war in Iraq… of course you know their fat cat friends were simply awarded no bid contracts to go to Iraq and rob the system blind in the meantime… look what that got us, $4/gallon gasoline, $15 trillion dollars thrown away, we then we’re “privileged” enough to spend our taxpayers dollars on a slush fund designed to allow the same fat cats on Wall Street that robbed the country on the front-end and then award themselves fat bonuses from our money on the back-end all sponsored by the GOP… now the GOP can do nothing but refer to all those that lost their jobs as “lazy, useless Americans” and then to top it off stand in the way of Finance Reform on the downside of all of this… Are Americans that are sworn of the GOP really that stupid, or are these people receiving secret payments to ennsure the GOP votes?

Are you serious? I have been unemployed for over a year. I have a college degree and 15 years professional experience. Can we get over the blame bush and the repubs for everything. What has your president done to create jobs? This administration doesn’t even have ideas. Eventually blame bush will no longer be relevant. And before you post your nonsense get the facts straight 15 trillion in debt from bush? Wow so America was debt free before he came to office. Do you know Obama spent more in his first year then bush did in 8? And just for your information bush may hav been in bed with the oil companies but your “messiah” is in bed with unions..watch when that bubble bursts..oh wait will just blame bush!

I am not a republican or a democrat. I am merely trying to point out you are not educated on spending and deficits. Did the Dems give money to the banks? My whole point is THIS ENTIRE GOV’T IS DOING NOTHING TO CREATE JOBS”. I do would love an extension but when you go to a site to get information and see such a rediculous post I am compelled to call you out on it. It sounds like you are a hardcore Democrat who loves what Obama is doing! Quite an accomplishment to spend the last year and 3 months working on healthcare when 15 + million people are out of work! I guess i’ll go swallow another GOP pill. But before I do that why don’t you “check the facts”. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_by_U.S._presidential_terms

March 24, 2010 at 8:02 am
Now lets start working on the unemployment bill. It was understood
that there would be an extension for the existing tiers of
unemployment. But there wasn’t any more added weeks to the tier 4 of
the unemployment extension for the long term unemployed. This raises
more issues for the unemployed. Once the unemployment benefits run out
for tier 4, were are we supposed to turn. We will be homeless. this
isn’t right. Congress needs to add more weeks to the bill for those of
us that have been unemployed long term. Please, if you are one of the
thousands of Americans that are unemployed and are currently recieving
unemployment benefits and are in tier4 and are facing the loss of
benefits please urge congress to add additional weeks to the
unemployment bill by going to:

Interviews by epmployers are conductedin their parking lots now that they know they can’t hire anyone. Applications for employment are left by the front door of many establishments right next to the waste cans. we know this can’t last forever, but we need help NOW

The Republicans(political or electorate) have never cared one iota for the
deep hole that unemployed citizens find themselves in…but…it’s the
democrats/liberals that must pay a price if no additional unemployment extensions
are not passed. The democrats hold the power in Congress & they are the ones
that should be held accountable by the millions of unemployed Americans who
will be unable to pay their rent or buy food or pay for necessary medical
expenses if no new legislation is passed. Call or write your congressman & let
him/her know your true feelings on this matter. MOVE QUICKLY.

E: GOP refuses TARP Funds for Unemployment Benefits
The Suicide Prevention Resource Center conducted a literature review of relevant research published in the past two decades. The review showed that a strong relationship does indeed exist between unemployment, the economy, and suicide.
A chain of adversity can begin with unemployment that can eventually lead to depression and suicidal thoughts. Losing a job that one depends upon (both financially and personally) contributes to individuals losing a sense of personal control, which can lead to hopelessness and despair.
IF OUR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ANY CONSCIOUS they will extend Unemployment Benifits and add tier V.

Oregon UNEMPLOYMENT at 11.8%
I am writing today to express the need for Tier 5. I am not at that level
yet but see the need for hundreds of thousands of Americans. My story is
simple, I have been unemployed and looking for work daily. On three
different occasion I have been hired only to find out the position had
been canceled before my start date.
Just yesterday it happened again. The company was concerned about the
Health care bill and what that will mean to them. They called and noted
that they are on a hiring freeze until they figure out the impact of this
new bill.
This will only make it harder out there and we need Tier 5 extended ASAP.
Please support and ask for this.

When I go to a site an idiots are saying blame the republicans for spending 15 trillion dollars. I can’t bite my tongue. AGAIN LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS AGAIN. The messiah is not doing anything to create jobs! You can blame the republicans for everything if you want but at some point you need to stop drinking the Obama koolaid and realize that when you are passing healthcare bills that tax businesses to death they are not going to hire anybody..So I agree that an additional tier should be passed, I can’t just listen to the same crap over and over. Here is the “Cost of the War”. costofwar.com/ not quite the 15 trillion your buddy Scott was chirping but none the less very costly.

I know where they can get $3 billion dollars. ABC (I think it was) News article. According to the IRS of the 2.8 million Federal Employees, 3%(100,000 employees) owed Federal Taxes from 2008. When you include retired workers and military service members the numbers spikes to 276,000 owing roughly $3 billion dollars. Either they pay up or let the unemployed have their jobs. Let me tell you that I made a small mistake (unknowingly) on my 2008 taxes and by summer of 2009 the IRS was sending me a letter requesting that I send in the $4 dollars and some odd cents that I owed, and I did. Maybe they need to be more diligent with collecting this money and use it for the unemployed. As far as Bush and the Republicans, they are and never were concerned about the Americans that work hard just to make a living, pay their bills and provide for their families. None of us were rich but made due, we had a job. Now that has been taken away. The current administration cannot clean up in one year what Bush did in eight. Although I agree we need Healthcare reform of some sort I do not think it should have been put ahead of the middle class, and I use that term loosely. Very little of the middle class exists anymore. Jobs and assisting those who cannot find one, should have been first and foremost.

It is mind boggling that they would pull such a cheap stunt as they have today to block H.R. 4851 a 4 week extension of unemployment benefits for hundreds of thousands of out of work Americans.
If they think they will gain the Congress this November by doing such vitriolic acts I think they are wrong

He’s clearly a staunch republican yet he is waiting for the government to create jobs?
Why doesn’t Joe follow his own political party’s advice and create his own job? Harder than he thinks? He doesn’t want the government to help people who need it unless it’s him.

I have been unemployed since 10/08, I have being looking for a job for the last year and half with no success. Anytime I go for an interview the employers says, “We will call you” and the call never comes. I went to a job fain in NY city there were 5 companies and outside in the street they were over 10,000 potential employees. I manage to go in and get interviewed but again no calls. Now Bill Clinton and Bush started this nightmare with the Morgage scam, Banks and then wall street. Pres. Obama bailed out all of these entities with our money with free interest. Now that the American people needs help,Mr. Obama turns his back on them. In Germany the Unemployment is provided for 4 year. Please keep in mind that we the Ex worker paid for this unemployment insurance and it is not free. It is really Dumb for the United States to give away 250 billion dollars to Colombia for Weapons and for our American people crap.

Rick you have your dates off their a bit, the TARP fund was in place prior to Obama’s team in the White House, in fact it was tabled in March 2008, and enacted into law in the fall of 2008
The Clinton team was the only administration in modern history that actually entered the oval office under a deficit, and 8 years later left the oval office leaving behind a 5+ trillion surplus.
Tax-cuts to the wealthy under the Bush administration is what started the real estate “scam” prior to that real estate prices were actually stable. With the wheeling and dealing of the Bush administration, the real estate investors came up with the brilliant plan that since, interest rates were falsely deflated, a home owner that once could realistically afford a 100K home could now purchase the same home for 250K at drastically devaluation interest rates hence, the crash in the markets. The 100k homes that the wheeling and dealing rich under the Bush trickle-down economic strategy, of supply the wealthy with tax breaks and tax incentives to ship jobs overseas, fell apart like an under cooked pancake slamming the nations economy. That is why the housing market is in so much trouble, those 250k homes that were actually valued at 100k, have been realistically readjusted back their actual value hovering around 100k.
That is only a small portion of the problem, the homes are so de-valuated and the property taxes continued to be maintained at the selling price making the homes simply unaffordable to millions of Americans. The Obama administration placed checks and balances in place to help “bail-out” those that were “screwed over” by this mindless economic strategy.
However, Rich I can see and millions of Americans are right along side of you with your sufferings…

I have been unemployed since November of 2009 … I have worked in Information Technology for 21 years and have not been called back on jobs that were paying 15 dollars an hour. I send resumes everyday to at least 3 companies, have updated and stayed on my networking as well as relationships with people in my field and former fellow employees and managers. I have several different resumes for different vocation focus – I have worked full time since I was 17 years old (34 years) … I have not received a call back on a resume or inquiry for almost four months. I am in school to reinvent myself and am grateful that school has given me some purpose – if anyone attempts to call me lazy or that I’m enjoying the time off … well, don’t – because I’m not. I just want to get back to work and try to climb out of this financial disaster that I’m in … I need the opportunity for extended benefits.

I have writing, faxing and calling the congress and major media outlets everyday for 2 months that a tier 5 is needed. All I get is the standard cover letter return.
I blame the press for being more interested in Tiger Woods and not taking a real interest in this US disaster.
LOL….Yesterday Fox news had a live chat, every one was writing in blogs, so I wrote a comment, asking why their was little interest with the fact that 3 million people will be homeless unless congress extends UI benefits.” My post was black- flagged and not posted, I tried 6 more times and the moderator blocked them too.I then tried to ask, “If you are so fair and balanced, why are you blocking my post?” It was blocked too.
I thought this might be a good hook to get some attention to the 99ers,(most of the other medias hate Fox too) so I sent them all a letter, but as of yet, nothing from any of them.
I blame congress for having a do-nothing attitude.
1. If they let the extensions expire,they hope we will go to state welfare, and that will make their fake unemployment numbers look better.
2. They are holding-out to pass an extension because elections are still a ways off. If they were to pass something now, it would be almost impossible to get an allocation long enough through the election in November.
I’m hope I’m wrong, but don’t expect them to address any further tiers before August. They will be expecting our votes for being so kind to us.

We are hoping to hear more tomorrow. Today was rather hectic especially for House Democrats. They were tied up in FBI briefings regarding the rash of death threats they have been receiving from these right-wing nut cases…
The good news is that Vice President Joe Biden (this is rumor of course) has told the Senate he might step in and force the Senate to stay on the floor until this non-sense the GOP is pulling is completed. They could be at this all night. Once they finish on the “Fixes Bill” they move on to the 30 day extension or H.R. 4851 the “Continuation Bill” which isn’t a perfect fix, just a little more breathing room for many…
Hopefully, we can squeeze something out of one of our press contacts tomorrow.. And if we are even luckier, V.P. Joe Biden will use the same tactic if the GOP tries to block this temporary extension. WorldNewsVine is calling for American’s to call their elected officials and state that the Houses should stay in session during this “break” to make certain that Americans are taken care in the manner for which they expected those elected to do so..
There is no one else but the GOP to blame for all of this, trust me…

UNEMPLOYED WORKERS NEED HELP RIGHT NOW! ADD A TIER 5 and extend the deadlines throughout 2010 and beyond if necessary until this economy shows signs of REAL improvement.

For extensions to unemployment, why not filter who gets these extensions. For example, I would say that unemployed individuals who have never been arrested FOR ANYTHING, especially though, things that would stop them from working (like DWI’s), along with specific criteria showing that they are trying to find jobs, aren’t receiving additional assistance from outside sources, etc. There are too many individuals who ruin things for the people who really need the help. I have worked my whole life, have never relied on public assistance so I consider myself lucky and blessed — but I know from the people I have encountered that there are those who ruin things for the people who really need the help.
