Yes,, considering that
A) 90% are still employed
and
B) not ALL 10% lose their bennies the same exact time
and
C) we’re actually talking about a small percentage of those now without bennies than in years past
(unemployment was at 6%,, now 10,, a 4% increase

Not all those 4% lose bennies the same time, becuase they all didn’t lose their jobs at the same time)

I’m actually with Fozzie on this one. UBenefits should be extended as long as the job market is unnaturally tight. The numbers don’t show a plethora of open positions awaiting only a leap off of the couch. Until these folks have actual jobs to go back to, i’m more than happy to allocate some of my taxes to help them get by.
