President Obama did not received sufficient Republican concessions in exchange for extending the Bush tax cuts for everyone, including millionaires. House Democrats obviously feel similarly. Do not think this bold act by House Dems holds any significance for the 99ers. Nancy Pelosi has never had the votes to add a TierV. Until Speaker Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Jim Clyburn or any Senate Dem mentions TierV as a requirement to pass an extension of tax cuts, assume 99ers are still left out in the cold. 15 shoppin... read more »
I am sure that had there been a network interview of Robert E. Lee after his surrender at Appomattox, Gen. Lee would have talked about the need to compromise to avoid holding the populace hostage via partisan bickering. "Sure, I gave up some things but I got to keep my sword.", General Lee would have said. Since President Obama is a fan of history perhaps this was his model for accepting the "compromise" on tax cuts for the rich.Monday night's agreement to extend tax cuts for all for two years and unempl... read more »
Last night at midnight 800,000 exhausted unemployment benefits. The benefits should be restored by act of Congress but Congress rarely acts as it should. Those 800,000 join 5 million+ 99ers. Some 99ers have been without an unemployment insurance safety net since March, 2010. If corporations are sitting on tons of cash because of uncertainty(although no thesaurus lists greed as a synonym of uncertainty) what about the 5.8+ million of us that don't have an ounce of money? Happy holidays.Channukah begins to... read more »

Senate races in Colorado, Alaska and Washington are too close to call. It is still too soon for analysis and too early to make predictions for 2012. I remember November 4, 2008. Two years is a very long time.The future for the unemployed however, looks uncertain. No extensions are funded beyond November 30, 2010. Anyone receiving benefits beyond 26 weeks will be cut off beginning in December. The incoming Congress appears unfriendly and potentially hostile to the plight of the unemployed. 99ers and all u... read more »
Two months ago, I thought I would stay home on November 2nd because the Democrats had not done enough to support the long term unemployed. Last month I changed my opinion and committed to vote Dem 2010. The Dems have still not done enough for the unemployed and the future looks worse, but I have met my commitment. Through early voting opportunity I cast my ballot on Monday. I was rewarded for my efforts by Sen. Mitch McConnell.Sen. McConnell told the National Reviewthat as majority leader his 1st priorit... read more »
