I deplete my savings just to make ends meet. I finally get a job in February that requires a move to another state. Now I find out the benefits have been extended and I'm not even eligible because I now have a job. Oh, and did I mention, I paid a penalty to pull out those savings just to live. You just gotta love our Federal government!... 39259@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#38989 I lost my job in Sept 07 after working for over 20 years. My unemployment has ran out and I've had no luck on getting a job. I've watched my savings and 401 go to zero, borrowed against life insurance just trying to keep in the game. I'm in Maryland and we need this in place! Maryland State Unemployment told me in 7/08 bill passed but not enacted yet in Maryland. What is wrong with the people running our country? Other than the fact they have a paycheck, aren't reading up on Bankruptcy and trying to feed a family on limited funds. Sadly we profess to be a great country and we send millions to other countries to prove we're richest but we realistically we are a selfish country and it's every guy for himself. How can something that is obviously needed take so long to get through?... 38989@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#38677 Will W. get an unemployment check when he is out of office, will he need an extension, or will we, the people, pay a high price for a retirement that he has no right to recieve.

We can help everyone but not our own. Please pass this bill asap..... 38283@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#37806 I lost my job last year and have not found work yet.

I have been out of work since Feb and am not having any success in finding a job. If this is not extended soon I will be homeless and carless. Right now my unemployment pays my rent and car payment. No rent $ no home no car $ no transportation to look for work.

If so, it sounds like the info under your belt is limited to a company located in a state where the employer does not deduct from the employee. My state certainly does.... 36322@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#36352 Check out www.Unemployed workers.org - entity for today. It indicates that the UC ext. may be ((dropped)) from the bill, so that Bush does not veto the the entire bill. We could be SCREWED.

This will hurt our economy and every US citizen. Employers, who pay for UE benefits out of their quarterly taxes, will simply pass the cost on to the consumer (being all of us citizens) and everything from McDonalds to clothing will increase in price.... 36282@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#36168 DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS PLAN WILL INCLUDE ILLINOIS, OR IS THIS A STATE BY STATE BASIS.... 36168@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#36176 If passed, all states should be included for 13 additional weeks, and states with highest unemployment rates will get more.

President Bush needs to wake up and get in tune to his LOCAL community, the US citizen. I also have umemployment benefits are finished this week and still have yet to find a job. I am not sure what BUSH is thinking, maybe whats for dinner? Oh yeah, you do have a roof over your head, a plate to eat your dinner on and US money in your pocket to fill your gas tank up to go to the market..oh I forgot you dont shop..someone does it for you..Who is in the land of unreality...you have lost it BUSH!... 35752@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 27 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35406 I am already hearing in the news this morning. The Bill is NOT expected to pass. The funds will be funding the war. Now what do we all do now??... 35406@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35435 An emergency extension of the unemployment compensation bill would certainly benefit me in maintaining everyday living. I have desperately seeking employment, fulltime and part-time to assist with my day to day living but to no avail. I have a remaining balance of $448.00 with no other source of income with no means of gainful employment, therefore I am stressed to the limited. An emergency extension of the unemployment compensation would certainly save my housing, utilities, medicines and insurances. Whatever can be done to assist many Americans just like me would certainly be appreciated. Your time and patience are always appreciated.... 35435@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35449 Although a great day for the Unemployed with no benefits. But, how many States will benefits from this. According to the Bill - States with a 6% or higher will benefit. According to the recent poll - only a small amount of State are at 6% - maybe 8+. So what do that rest of us do?... 35449@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35366 From what I have read, regarding the bill. Only States with an Unemployment rate of 6% or higher would be eligible for the extension (should it pass). After reading the Cleveland Plain Dealer yesterday. Only a very small hand-full of States our at 6%. Does that mean that the rest of US could be screwed? If any has any additional information on this, please let us all know.... 35366@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 21 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35294 I am not one of those idiots that bought an overpriced home and got a shady loan in doing so and I am not one of those idiot’s who is walking away from that home because they couldn’t afford it in the first place, but I am one of those people paying the price of these idiots by getting laid off of my job caused by this situation, and now my unemployment has run out and there are no jobs in my field and no extension or help for someone in my situation. I just wish I could walk away from my problems but instead I have to suffer the consequences of the idiot’s of this country.... 35294@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 20 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35303 Check out this very imformative website.

This needs to be done IMMEDIATELY if this GREAT COUNTRY is to survive these hard times. If people lose faith that their government will do the RIGHT thing for its people, where will we be! Let's hope all of you in Washington can see the RIGHT thing to do by extending Unemployment Compensation to the millions of unemployed. It is time Government start working for the PEOPLE on this issue.... 35304@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 20 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35215 When the bill was 2544 instead of 4934, Bushie threatened to veto.

The stimulus checks that everyone who filed taxes will get is not going to help us who have run out of unemployment, and besides the stimulus money is going to the rich as well. I want to know where this stimulus money is coming from? maybe it is coming from our extended unemployment benifits and that is why the bill hasn't passed.... 35253@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 19 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35029 STOP FEEDING IRAQ...I COULD GIVE A SH*T..FEED ME FIRST.IM AN AMERICAN....IM ABOUT TO LOOSE EVERYTHING, AND IM HUNGRY... 35029@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_4934.html#35030 BUSH HAS GOT TO GO....HE NEEDS TO GIVE HIS PAYCHECK UP TO AMERICAN'S.......I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM LOOSE EVERYTHING, AND AS I WALK BY HIM ON THE STREET I TELL HIM GOOD.WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, BECAUSE HES NOT GOING TO HEAVEN, BECAUSE GOD WOULD SEE TO IT......YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN FIRST, AND THE OTHERS COUNTRIES CAN WAIT.
