There is a demand that the extension of unemployment should be paid for. I agree. Get rid of the loopholes for companies who pay wages so low that they must get federal assistance or are shipping jobs overseas, and use that money to pay for unemployment benefits.
Why is this important?
I am tired of using my taxes to pay for costs that rich corporations have shifted to the American taxpayer. If the House is so concerned about reducing the debt, start with the companies who are contributing to that debt.
