[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 748843, member: 12570"] Keep in mind that Congress was being asked to [B]extend[/B] unemployment insurance beyond the current [B]99 weeks[/B]. That is nearly 2 years. At what point do you say enough is enough? I guess for Congress that point has arrived and I wholeheartedly agree. Let me give you a reall life example. As many of you know, I flew down to NC last weekend to help my daughter and her fiance move back to NY. She has a cousin (my former nephew) who lives nearby with his family. He has been out of work for some time and collecting unemployment. Now, you would think that he would be spending his days poring over the classifieds and pounding the pavement looking for work. That is not the case---he has spent the time [B]building a deck.[/B] Is this really how we want our taxpayer money spent? Yes, the economy is still in the crapper and, yes, he may not be able to find a job comparable to the one that he had, but[B] there are jobs out there[/B]. [/QUOTE]
