In a speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Carl Levin addressed the critical need to extend unemployment insurance to Americans who are out of work and have exhausted their benefits. Every day, constituents call my offices with a simple request please act so our benefits dont run out, Levin said. These people are eager, even desperate, for work. Until the economic recovery that appears to be taking place begins creating new jobs, these Americans need our help. They need us to listen to their request. They need us to help ensure that they can still feed and clothe their children and remain in their homes.
