99er Mystery: Is It in There? Obama Job Plan is $447BIL, 99er Bill is $16BIL

But with this President, what results in the end is often far different than what he says speech after speech (see “shared sacrifice” during the debt deal…) Also remember that months ago when CBC Chair Cleaver said that the Barbara Lee/Bobby Scott bill (HR 589) was a “non-starter” at a cost of $16 billion? All of a sudden here we are with a jobs bill at $447 billion. Yes, there was vague language last night regarding “unemployment insurance.” No one really knows what that actually means until specific legislative language is written or until someone in the Obama Administration says what it means is specific terms.

So why arent you on welfare food stamps and medicaid? If this is what Obama wants well give it to him.

There is no money for job training unless you are collecting UI. Which is actully a great idea, except you need to grandfather the 99ers into the program too.

What i would like to see is 26 weeks of UI, and on the 27th you get cut off unless you are in job training or even an "Intern" job for up to another 52 weeks......it would eliminante all the stupid talk about unemployed are lazy and wont take jobs...And would eliminate the we dont hire the unemployed because you would be working or in school.
