I couldn't believe that Congress would not pass an extension of unemployment benefits for those out of work more than 6 months. How heartless is that?
Maybe the infamous members of Congress who voted 'no' should be sentenced to live on unemployment benefits for the remainder of their terms. I wonder if any of them could make it on those benefits? I hope people also remember who they are on election day.
I know that we're in a tough economy, but we should do better than always cutting funds and services for the most vulnerable.
This blog discusses issues of social justice (in an inclusive sense), civil liberties, human rights, other social issues, and offers thoughts on society and humanity in general from a progressive, feminist perspective.
