Michigan's GOP Congressmen oppose extending unemployment benefits...AGAIN
Back when the last expanded unemployment benefits were set to expire, these same MIGOP Congressmen -- Joe Knollenberg and Thadeus McCotter -- voted against renewing or extending the benefits.
Doing it AGAIN, in 2008, with the economy in the state it's in, and with Michigan suffereing the highest unemployment rates in the nation (not to mention the rampant foreclosure), is criminally stupid.
It is a travesty, right up there with their too-clever-by-half "Present" votes to authorize funding our troops overseas.
