On the recordFebruary 25, 2010
I cannot understand why we would do this. I give an example of Stan Lipowski who lives in Rockford, IL, as I mentioned earlier an area hard hit. Stan is pretty nervous. He is 60 years old. He lives in Loves Park near Rockford. He lost his job in June and relies on his unemployment check to keep his household afloat. This is from the Rockford newspaper where he is quoted as saying: It's not sufficient, but without it, I'd be in real trouble. I'm already borrowing against my house to put my daughter through college. He is living on his unemployment check, and the objection of the Senator from Kentucky is going to cut off the checks for people just like him.
