The senate failed to push back the Feb. 28 deadline for application for unemployment benefits, so more than one million people will be without benefits and many more will be affected. The senate chose not to push back the deadline because they do not have the money to do so, and would just be building more debt. This is a big deal because nearly 11.5 million people are currently depend on jobless benefits. All of this is due to Congress' inefficiency and a gridlock between the two parties, while millions of people are out there waiting for a bill to be passed.
This article is a little frightening, however I think it will give people more of incentive to find jobs, since they are no longer receiving wealth-fare checks. People may be taking lower tier jobs then what they are capable of, which might hurt productivity, however they will have jobs.
