On September 22, Congressman Geoff Davis spoke on the House floor in support of H.R. 3548, the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act. H.R. 3548 was introduced on September 10, 2009 by Congressman Jim McDermott [WA-7]. The Act would provide up to three additional months of Federal extended unemployment benefits to long-term unemployed individuals in States where the unemployment rate is 8.5 percent or higher. During his speech, Congressman Davis urged an increased focus on job creation, stating, "What Americans really want is jobs, not handouts. Even as we help those in places where jobs are the hardest to find, promoting job growth should be our number one priority."

  • how is this man an ass? he want to extend unemployment benefits. your an ass!

  • states that have the highest unemployment rates need to have UI benifits till the end of 2010.

  • Many social programs are nothing more than plundering the responsible to prop up crack smoking lazy bums. Those who want government subsidies are not true Americans. Go read the "Federalist Papers". Madison, Jay, and Hamilton would have been shot dead, burned, and had their ashes scattered had they argued for modern government. Radical liberal government is what the founding fathers and war hero's died for trying to escape. Quit defecating on their graves.

  • No its the idiot democrats that will not allow the republicans to fix the problem. Study your bills, policies, and votes. Radical liberal dictatorial media destroyed Bush.

  • Will they try to become heroes or will they look for a hero ?

  • Finally a guy that really knows and cares what is going on, how can anyone ever think it would be like a hand out I have paid into this fund for unemployment for 25 years where is that money at please tell me that, and now they just look at the past 12 months on my employment history what about us out here that has worked all our lives and totally deserve the help please tell me that?
