I wrote a column this afternoon for work (I work at a small daily newspaper) about the uncertainty... and by the time it hits the newsstand tomorrow afternoon it'll be FUBAR. GODDAMNIT!

But, for my 57-year-old mother on extended UI, it's VERY good news.

And anyone who disagrees has no clue as to how to prime the pump of a staggering economy.

Thanks for the link!

(noting that if impairment testing is enacted for UI as it said, I want that extended to elected officials - same terms of mandatory and without notice - including being under the influence of alcohol on the job...)
