Senate Democrats introduce legislation that would extend unemployment insurance benefits for up to two million Americans, some of whom could collect for up to 99 weeks.

Did I hear you correctly "welfare is not socialism"? It is income redistribution so what else do you call it? The eastern europeans do have it right when after 90 days if you cannot find work, then you don't get any more benefits. I am very concerned about the future of our country as it seems to get more ridiculous every day.
