From today's Chron:
Jobless benefits to expire

Unless Congress comes to the rescue, the federal program that provided an extra 13 weeks of unemployment benefits to people who used up their regular state benefits will expire at the end of this year.

R'uh oh.

From the same article-

But the new governor (Arnie) has another looming unemployment problem. Thanks to a big increase in weekly benefits and persistent high unemployment, the state's (CA) unemployment insurance fund, from which benefits are paid, is expected to run out of money in January.

Double r'uh oh.

Eh, what am I worried about. I'm sure Congress and the President will do what they always do, the right thing, and that they'll come together to help out those of us who are less fortunate. Those of us who need a little help. Those of us who don't give millions of dollars in campaign contributions or attend thousand dollar fund-raising dinners or sit on the same board as Dick Cheney does.

I think I need to get a job. Really, really soon.
