2 million people is .06% of the population (not counting our Mexican guests overstaying their welcome).

Did Mr Reed ask himself why these people are still jobless 99 weeks later? Couldn it have something to do with unions and Dem economic policy?

Not to mention the fact that it´s those mortgages that got us here in the first place.

Oh c´mon people. Have you forgotten yer basic physics laws?
A few more passengers on the bus isn´t going to affect its terminal velocity one bit...

Liberalism is certainly a mental illness.

And for those who no longer have benefits, what about them?

That´s their answer to the fiscal cliff -- tax the rich and spend, spend, spend.

In short the Rats demand that the GOP betray their base and cut their own throats politically, so that the Rad base is protected completely from the effects of their bad policies. Where is the skin in the game? The sad part is that the cry baby will probably go along and take the blame as well.

Obama just said all sectors of the economy are doing good. National unemployment at 7.7% and employers saying they´re planning on adding staff next year so we do we need more extensions? Manufacturers are saying they can´t find skilled workers despite the country spending billions on job training.Must be in buggy whip industries.

What these people need is a job skill not a handout.The workforce is becoming more specialized.I know a guy who makes $500-$1000 a week doing piddly jobs in brick stone,putting in floors bathrooms etc.

The Democrats are wanting a bailout of their failed economic policies by extending the already extended unemployment payments. At what point does unemployment become welfare? We´re stealing from our children and their children to pay for this since the government borrows 46 percent of whatever it spends.

Of course they do. Daddy Warbucks with our money.

Does this remind anyone else of that congressman that thought too many military personnel on the island would tip it over? Folks, hold on tight and hold your nose, we are about to tip@@@@

More bloat to the bill. I have been warning, this is stimulus porkulous 2013. Mark my words, trillions in bailouts rescues, spending. It´s the Obama Dem way. The taxes won´t be for anything but more spending. No debt will be paid, the debt ceiling will be raised to infinity, and we have to pass the bill to know what´s in it.

Just do it already, sick of the threats, it will just be pushed through New Years Eve right before midnight, anyway.

Obama wants to go off the cliff. He doesn´t care about unemployment.

Just slogging along on our way to socialist poverty.. too strapped to protect against Islamic Sharia Law takeover. This president likes that idea.. that will keep Moochie in her place!

The blue states have been on unemployment for 4 years. It´s time get a job.

How soon before we have Hereditary Unemployment?

16 check out the inner cities. We already have hereditary unemployment.

2016: unemployment benefits never end. Thank you, Mr. President.

The Republicans should support this and put stipulations on it that there be mandatory drug testing, mandatory training and it be reduced over time. Also partial support should be given if they get a job a lower rate than the previous job.

And the government needs to cut spending elsewhere to pay for it.

So 99 weeks (two years) isn´t enough time to ´find a job´...tough, let Obama take the hit for ruining the economy. The more we bail them out the better they do, how much sense does that make?

Since Obama keeps changing the deal, it is obvious that what he really wants is to go over the fiscal cliff. He is not negotiating; he is sending new order and desires out over the media every day. Who can keep up with them?

There is but one solution to reducing unemployment, and the Obama administration is totally opposed to it.

Create an environment where the private sector is comfortable hiring people.

Democrats want to pay people NOT to work.

Do they fund it from spending cuts?
Do they fund it from more efficient government?
Do they fund it from cutting pork?

No.

They want workers and employers to pay their dependent class NOT to work.
They want to borrow more money and charge it to the American taxpayer.
They want to operate Washington WITHOUT passing budgets as required by law.

Washington breaks the very laws that they inflict on us.
When will everyone be required to follow the same laws we do?

Why do libs think welfare & unemployment are good for the economy? They don´t. They lie.

This am I watched a news spot on an event in Ohio, where 200 free apartments were taking applications. 2,ooo showed up & all were dressed in muslim garb. Somalia refugees or students here on visas? In 2011, foreign student visas were up by 840k.

Our great nation is being given away.

No, No, No. It´s beyond time for the gravy train to end.
