Inadequate Social Safety Net Of The USA      5-Nov-09 10:23 am    
Long-term jobless face frayed safety net
‘By February I will be in a tent,’ says one unemployed worker

With jobless benefits expiring for a record number of workers, some 7,000 a day, Congress is inching closer to approving an extending federal unemployment insurance after the Senate overwhelmingly pushed the package forward Wednesday. The measure comes as state unemployment insurance funds are running low, and tight budgets are fraying the safety net that jobless workers without benefits rely on.

This government could learn a lot from the EU on respecting its citizens.
