Meanwhile, unless Congress agrees to extend unemployment benefits by Tuesday, 800,000 long-term unemployed will start running out. Extended benefits are not only necessary given the record number and level of long-term unemployed, but they’re also one of the best means of stimulating spending. The unemployed will spend every dollar of benefits they receive.
I thought it was a federal law that automatically extends unemployment benefits if the unemployment rate exceeds 6% in the state in question. Did the GOP repeal that law?
