On the recordFebruary 25, 2010
I implore you as your first order of business upon your return from the snow... to extend the emergency unemployment benefits through the end of 2010 that are due to expire on the 28th of Feb. Thank you. He was thanking me in advance for something this gentleman believes we will do because it is right. This gentleman is 46 years old, a professional in the legal field. He had applied for over 30 different jobs. He has had two interviews. He is still unable to get a job. He is Jeff from Eagle River. I will not use his last name. He did not authorize me to do that. But just reading this letter tells me, why are we not doing this? I am a new Member. Like the Senator from Oregon, I have been here a little over a year. I have the same question he had on, literally, the $1 trillion that was unfunded, given to the richest of the rich. It has never been revoked or changed, but it was funded by whom?
