I believe that the benefits should be extended for at least until the job souces improves greatly in all catagories. These people have worked hard in their lives and are trying hard to find work to support their families without the use of other government funded programs. Why would our government want to put more burdon on these programs and take away the pride these people hold onto to find work? They should do it as if it were for them also. If the government had to be on unemployment, its a guarentee that the extention would be approved! And thats a FACT!!!
