Add Two More To The Unemployed

Remember all the harping Iowa Dummycrats did about passage of extended unemployment benefits?

It was pure political demagoguery and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Iowans miss out on unemployment benefit extension

The Big Lug Nut decided last year not to seek a change in the state’s unemployment law and that has resulted in 13 fewer weeks of benefits being available to out-of-work Iowans.

Because the BLN did not pursue a federal program for which Iowa qualified in September 2009, potentially 18,000 Iowans missed out on extended unemployment benefits for private-sector workers that were funded by the federal government at no cost to the states.

This is the same man who said (video below) -- "I've been leading the charge in terms of extending unemployment benefits".

During the debate over the extension, Iowa Workforce Development had to use words like "about" and "could" when describing Iowans eligible for additional unemployment benefits because they new the truth that those people wouldn't qualify.

Rozanne, err Taxanne Conlin showed how ignorant she was by lambasting Senator Grassley for ignoring "the men and women of Iowa who are now struggling to provide food for their families, keep a roof over their heads, and provide medical care.”

Blame the Big Lug Nut!
