Dish-Houston

The House just passed a bill giving a 3 month extension to those jobless Americans that are on unemployment and can not find jobs in the horrible market. You see, unemployment benefits only pays for 6 months and at the very most only pays just over $300 a week, regardless of how high your paycheck was before you were down sized. Problem is that there is virtually no support for this bill in the Senate and the White House. Regardless of the fact that The Labor Department reported this week that the number of people filing new claims for unemployment benefits last week increased by 25,000 from the week before. The unemployment rate in May jumped to 5.5 percent, up from 5 percent in April. It was the biggest one-month gain in 22 years.

Americans are looking to it's government to see if it's going to help them. It will be interesting to see if it does.

DISH says: If they are looking to find some funds to help the Americans out that have fallen on hard times because of the poor economy, they might want to look into the NASA fund, after all, they just sent a probe into space to go check out no-longer a planet Pluto to the tune of $700 Million. I'm just sayin'.
