More than one million people set to lose unemployment benefits.

Clearly this is not worthy of the same level of outrage as cancellation letters from insurance companies.

that Obama is going to take away your unemployment check, the outrage from every corner would force Congress to stop Obama.

It would be worth it for the million plus people and the economy.

I applied for unemployment but they are taking their sweet time. If I can't get it, I don't know what I'm going to do.
