Currently in the Unites States, the unemployment rate is at 9.7 percent. Yes, the unemployment ate has dropped, but this is only because thousands of people have quit looking for jobs because they do not see any sign of hope. Many Americans are beginning to believe that President Obama cares a lot more about health care reform rather than creating jobs and I won’t disagree; lately it has seem like that is all he cares about, but we just have to wait and see. However, there finally seems like there is light at the end of the tunnel! The United States Senate has adopted aid for the unemployed after a week long of debate with 62 votes in favor and 36 votes against.
The U.S. Senate has adopted a 140 billion bill that is aimed at expanding unemployment benefits, as well as creating a tax break and jobs. The bill will of course help those who are unemployed and also provide health coverage until December 2010. The Senate’s Democratic majority leader Harry Reid has said that they will continue employment in their agenda and hope for bipartisan support in order to help middle-class Americans during these difficult times.
