these folks will find work. but in the meantime, the insurance keeps them from falling off a cliff. it makes sure they can pay their car note to go to that interview. it makes sure they can pay their cell phone bill, so that if somebody calls back for an interview, they can answer it. and kathryn explained this. kathryn in the letter she wrote to me said that, do folks really think that cutting this benefit will make someone hire me? that s not how employers are thinking. so letting unemployment insurance expire for millions of americans is wrong. congress should make things right. i m very appreciative they re on their way to doing just that, thanks to the bipartisan work of two senators. you had a democrat from rhode island, senator reid, and you
if they were able to pay somebody s car note, put money into other people s bank accounts. right. doing pretty good. not bad in these tough times. i don t remember what my 11th birthday was but it wasn t all of that. i got a pack of gum and a whiffle ball, i think. coming up, the major blame game coming out. the. the arrest after a florida girl s suicide and a message to parents nationwide. a dog who survived the war zone and he s earned his name hero in more ways than one. you re watching world news now. announcer: world news now weather brought to you by consumer cellular. t announcer: world news now weather brought to you by consumer cellular. ha announcer: world news now weather brought to you by consumer cellular. t announcer: world news now weather brought to you by consumer cellular. s announcer: world news now
