unemployment insurance, it makes it harder for them to find a job. you heard katherine's story. she's far more eloquent than i could ever be. she wrote me last month to say, please let those who think i'm sitting at home enjoying being unemployed, know i would much rather be working. i had a chance to talk to katherine and i think it's pretty clear that that's the case. katherine went on to say i've applied to everything for which i'm possibly qualified to no avail. i worked hard all my life, paid taxes and voted and engaged in political discussion and made the ultimate sacrifice, my two sons serve in the u.s. military, job loss is devastating and if i could fix it myself, i would. i challenge any lawmaker to live without an income. that's what katherine said.
