Unemployment Extension

Sen. Sherrod Brown

November 5, 2009

So you are going to pass a 20 week extension of unemployment benefits. But you have to exhaust the benefits by the end of the year? There is only 8 weeks left in the year, how does that make any sense?

Also, somebody that lost their job a year a go, will get more unemployment benefits than somebody who lost their job 6 months ago? How is that fair?

I lost my job in Feb of 2009, and I have no prospects of any employment. There are no jobs in my field within 50 miles of my home.

Way to make it look like you are doing something when you are actually doing nothing.

Oak Harbor , OH
