Fourteen Democratic governors have signed a letter drafted by Gov. Martin O'Malley that calls on Congress to extend federal unemployment benefits quickly



"Congress should extend unemployment benefits, as many states continue to experience persistent levels of high unemployment," according to the letter, which was made public Wednesday and will be sent to House and Senate leaders.



"Unemployment insurance has been effective in providing stability to our states' economies during times of uncertainty and weakness."



O'Malley, a Democrat who is considering a run for president in 2016, is circulating the letter as the Senate debates a bill that would extend the long-term jobless benefits for three months.

Because conservative trickle down economy has ruined our manufacturing base and forced American workers to compete with Communist Chinese slave labor. Cheap labor is at the core of conservative beliefs and has driven the standard of living in this county down. But hey, since Reagan began trickle down, driving labor into the ground has always been at the heart of the plan.

Who started NAFTA, Who advanced it? Clinton lost my support when he signed it. GWB put it on steroids. Ross Perot was right, you just won't or can't admit it to yourself that NAFTA/GATT is a right wing plan for quick profits at the cost of the American people and the ruination of our country.

Did Obama lose your support because he failed to repudiate it?

Well, of course. It's all Bush's fault, anything good that happens is because Obama is... Of course this depends entirely on what the definition of "is" is.
 
Do you not understand that conservatives still believe in NAFTA? Do you understand that no matter what Obama does, conservatives will protect their U.S. and foreign political investors by turning a blind eye to what their ideology has produced in this country?
 
Maybe a good jobs bill would help ease the pressure on Americans... oops conservatives are against putting Americans back to work because the rich don't need jobs.

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama said Monday his $447 billion jobs plan is a common-sense approach needed right away, but House Republican leaders said they opposed Obama's intention to pay for it by ending tax relief for corporations and the wealthy.

You keep talking about trickle down economics but manufacturing jobs were already leaving this country in the '70's.

Obama is in charge. He's not a conservative?

He had control of Congress during his first term.

He did nothing.
 
In the 70's industry was moving from the north to the south for cheap labor, then to Mexico, then to Asia, it's all about the cheapest labor. Republican internationalists have no sense of patriotism or loyalty to this country.

This doesn't say the economy is "doing great." You're leading off with the implication that the democrats are saying the economy is fine now and needs no extra help. Where are you getting that statement from?

Sure. they want the economy to get stronger and extending unemployment benefits gives people more time for that recovery to occur and also more money to keep small businesses going.

Who is it that keeps eliminating middle class jobs? I'll give you a hint. Republicans in Congress and tea party governors.
