I saw this coming two years ago. A retraining program works when you have a place to stay and food on the table. Originally they wanted us to PAY for retraining then penalize your UI payments because of it. the system is broken big time. Money to survive AND THEIR DAMMED retraining program. GIVE US BOTH and NOW!!!!! GOPers need to save time and kill themselves now before we the masses march on them and pull their sorry hides from their ivory towers and subject them to our tender mercies.

Please note, this is a hearing on the bill introduced in the House on May 5, 2011! This bill could potentially take the benefits provided in EUC08, Tiers 1 - 4, away from the individual. Provisions in this bill, as highlighted above, would put the money in the hands of each state and allow them to divert your benefits for such things as providing tax incentives for businesses to hire, use the money for training, etc.

Funds for EUC08, which was extended until 12/31/11 at the end of last year (S. 4213) would now be distributed to the states based on factors such as unemployment rate, population, etc.

The House Ways & Means Committee has NOT provided a list of expert witnesses, or provided a link to send a "Submission for the Record" for this hearing.

However, you can still do so by following the steps below and emailing them at the address provided.

Please act now! Tell them if they want to change the provisions of 4213, which was passed in December after compromising on the Bush Tax Cuts, that they MUST also ask the rich to give the money back that they were able to keep under the tax compromise!

This legislation does not affect the 99er's right now. It affects ALL the unemployed, even if you are on the first weeks of regular state unemployment benefits! The "99ers" would be affected if and when HR 589 (in the same Ways & Means Committee since 2/9/11) passes.
