Unemployed workers in the United States are eligible for up to 99 weeks of government-provided financial assistance. Those who have used up their benefits call themselves "99ers" in reference to this limit. VOA's Carla Babb reports on how one 99er is struggling to survive with absolutely no income.

Looks like this guy is spending too much time giving interviews and watching tv instead of looking for a job. Sorry dude, they are not going to extend your benefits beyond 2 years. We just do not have the money anymore.

I have renamed the GOP Pledge to America to "Plague On America." God help us all if the Republicans gain control of the House and Senate

@RichardE8ST Technological advances and jobs going overseas to companies who can meet world wide demand without the need for a billion people in production has something to do with it to. It's time to end money completely which will eliminate 80% of all jobs around the world and distribute the remaining 20% across all people. Make all things free including education. Why should we pay for things ROBOTS instead of people create? And the world continues to become more automated all the time.

There's plenty of money to extend tax cuts for the rich but nothing for the unemployed.
Failed republican policies created this severe recession and now they've turned their noses up at the victims of their irresponsible incompetence.
