Unemployment Denied

I stand with Sen. Bunning on this issue. I feel we cannot keep paying for people to get extensions on unemployment and other programs, such as COBRA. I believe I am in the minority on this, but I can't see who it's helping in the long run. Americans really need to get out and go to work. There are jobs available, maybe not the job they want, but there are jobs.

If we continue to extend benefits without having the money to do so, our country goes deeper into debt. The only way people are going to look for jobs they don't "want" is to cut off their benefits when they expire. It isn't cruel to do so. These people are all told how long their benefits last. If they choose to wait until the last day to look for a job, that's their call.

Here is a video to his objections.
(There are many more videos on youtube and other sources, I simply picked one after watching hours of this.)



In todays news we have reports of Sen. Bunning sayings things like "tough shit" and giving a reporter "the finger". I have watched a couple videos where the media is chasing this man around, even trying to get into a senator elevator when he needs to be on the floor. One reporter even blocks the door of the elevator from closing. Really? When did it become alright for the media to do things like this? People are saying Sen. Bunning is the "wacko" - I am the opposite, the media has lost it. They spin things out of control. Think about it, if you were standing your ground on any issue and there were people following you around when you needed to be at work, and those people tried to stop you from getting to where you needed to be, would you be a little upset? I'm telling you now, I would be angry.
