Penny wise and pound foolish...

Listen up, people in Congress! I commented on this the last time it came up. You are morally obliged to continue unemployment benefits. Let me repeat for emphasis: YOU ARE MORALLY OBLIGED TO CONTINUE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS! YOU are the ones who created this mess, maybe not you personally, but YOU as an institution. YOU have already approved to spend HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to do... what? And NOW you blanch at a measly $12 billion? Yeah, continue to hurt the people affected the most by this disaster. Smart.


P.S. $12 billion is only 1.54 percent of $780 billion.
