POSITIVE ARTICLE!!!! HR 589 Meeting TODAY!

Barely keeping my eyes open, I found this posted a few hurs ago.

It is doubtful the meeting will take long, more than a quick exchange of pleasantries and ideas, proposals to offset the bill, and perhaps a few suggestions for possible areas in which jobs can be created (suggested by Rep. Cantor's office after the agreement to meet was reached). Why? Two reasons: Pressures of the looming government shutdown deadline, which has captured much of the media's attention, and either the Democratic lawmakers will have found offsets that are agreeable to Republicans or will be open to suggestions from Boehner and Cantor

Okay, I can sleep better tonight! I like this part of the article, it gives me some hope, especially the line that states Boehner and Cantor would be open to suggestions.
Thank you for posting this!

Nooooo problem. Have to be productive somehow. Im unemployed ya know....lol.

I caught that line also, and yeah it does add an aire of positivety that helps, right about now Im all about the power of positivety, that and catching some

Lets all hope and pray this meeting later on will be positive. Thanks for posting Angelic!

No problem Jobless. Just glad to have been a wake to post it. I don't know how Im even still up.

99ers might soon have reason to celebrate. The 14-week unemployment benefits extension proposal, HR589, will be discussed by Representatives Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Bobby Scott (D-VA) with the Republican House leadership on Thursday, April 7. Scott and Lee will be given a chance to present their case for the 99ers, the long-term jobless who have exhausted all manner of unemployment benefits while searching for a job in the current desolate economy, and the unemployed just entering into the long-term. It is as yet uncertain how long they will be given, nor what arguments the two legislators might use,

but they are expected to present the case for HR589 along with the means by which to cut federal spending in order to pay for the extension.

The time of the meeting was not announced but according to the daily House agenda, they are scheduled to adjourn at 3:00 pm. Maybe right after that???
