Your Economy (No Politics)

I thought the insurance portion was 26 weeks and maybe one or two 13 week extensions.

Certainly, everything after 1 year is coming out of the treasury and adding to the deficit. Admittedly by a small amount compared to everything else but 30 or 40 billion here, 10 or 15 billion there and sooner or later it adds up to real money.

Given the choice between bailing out the banks and extending unemployment I'd vote to extend but there still has to be some time limit?
