Translation : Please start another non means tested welfare program that will constantly expand and never end .

Hunger is a great motivator. It has now come down to an US or THEM decision.
We can´t afford to pay you to be workless anymore. Sorry.

Not extending it might be the best thing for the unemployment rate. Once the safety net dries up these mooches will have to look seriously for a job and take the first one that is offered.

You voted for no jobs so suck it up!

"About 55,000 long-term unemployed Ohioans will lose federal jobless benefits during the holidays as the recession-era emergency aid comes to an end."

But now that the election is over no one cares...

Move, take a lower paying job, get an education, vote for someone besides Obama -- I don´t want to hear about jobless aid.

...now that the government sector got theirs guaranteed for another four, the rest can pound sand...

Not all of the unemployed are moochers not looking for work. And not all of them voted for Obama. Lighten up.

The article uses a phrase "Jobless Worker". Not sure what that means.
The nice part is that once jobless benefits end you are, by definition, no longer unemployed. You have, instead, left the work force so the unemployment rate ticks back down.
As benefits run out, we may well be down to a 4% unemployment rate by the end of Obama´s second term. See thing are getting better.

By voting for Obama they voted for more unemployment benefits instead of jobs. Now, they´re going to get neither.

I want to hear airhead pelosi reiterate how jobless benefits are an ´economic stimulus´ despite all the incontrovertible contemporary evidence to the contrary.

Another "Peoples Republic" having hard times:-)

We had to move, they can do the same, we miss our family, but sitting on our butts collecting benefits wasn´t an option.

Well Ohio, you voted to ´continue course´ with Obama...

These TAKERS voted for 0bama, not jobs...

Not to worry. The unemployment rate will come down drastically when people having two part time jobs becomes the norm.

The SCOTUS erred hugely in 1937 when it ruled unemployment taxes and benefits to be constitutional. As it did in 2012 with ZeroCare.

At some point all this "gov´t assistance" has got to come to a head. With more and more people losing their jobs, and less taxes going to the gov´t, economic collapse can´t be far away.

Prime example is Hostess: 18,500 less people paying taxes. However, that´s 18,500 new people collecting unemployment for 2 years.

And simply raising taxes on the wealthy isn´t the answer -- only 1% of the population earns a million dollars or greater, which is why Obama wanted tax increases on those earning 250,000.

The gifts had an expiration date.........immediately AFTER the election.

Own it, beeyotches!

Guess who THEY voted for!! No sympathy from me..sorry!

Aww, this makes my day. You people,voted for Santa Claus, now try to eat the coal he leaves in your Chinese made stocking.

Oops, not coal, that is environmentally unfriendly. You people try to eat your Obamaphones, or the sun or wind. Eat it.

This is good news. After all it´s all about that silly unemployment number. 55K off the roles and onto the long term unemployed (which do not get counted). Whoopeeee! The Won continues to work his domestic economy magic.

FORWARD. /s off

Aw heck, but isn´t Ohio a blue state? I guess the chickens have finally come home to roost...

it would appear that elections do have consequences...

Where oh where will the Bam Bam $$ come from now?

Ssssssh, don`t bother Obama with this stuff. He`s busy hitting up the 1/2%`ers for January 20th coronation money....

Ohio voted for 0bama and all his economic idiocy and got it. Now suck it up.

No sympathy from me. I worked hard all my life, got an education, saved money, lived within my income, and planned for my own retirement.

The takers now outnumber the providers.

If the unemeployment payment is to be a new life-long pension then the laws should be changed to say that.

Otherwise when is it to cut off? What rules are best?

You will never convince the people receiving money that they should not get it.
And you will never convince advocates that they shouldn´t decide how much others should be taxed.

Ohio voted for Obama. Those who voted for Obama got what they voted for and have no cause to complain. But I feel sorry for those who voted for Romney. They did the right thing and do not deserve this.

#6. I am with you. There are still plenty of unemployed who stubbornly wsh to accept unemployment rather than "lower" themselves to take jobs (or make jobs) they feel are beneath them.

Do you really think that those miserable lame duck congress critters won´t extend benefits?

It will be 24/7 ´those mean Republicans´ from Dims and the Libtard news outlets and CryBoehner will cave like a wet noodle.

Oh, OH, Oh, Ohio.

Those 55,000 can move into their parents homes. Just don´t head south.

How´s that vote for Obama working for you right now?
How´s that Obamaphone looking right now?

Stupid, stupid people get what they deserve

Wait until GM goes belly up, ohio, your unemployment rate will be 15% and like #4 said you get what you deserve, so suck it up buckeyes.

Poor babies. They should have voted for jobs rather than freebies.

F,em. They voted for the mulatto.

They voted for *The Won* so let them have what they voted for...I´m sure they will be welcomed into the welfare and food stamp rolls, just like Obama envisions it. More dependent obamabots..

Read the comments; all were on point except for this guy......Kevin Gowins (kevinkgowins@gmail.com)
...........
L´Dotters, edumacate him.

But they have their cell pho´s.

How´s that Lib vote working out for ya?

But, but, but...I thought the unemployment rate was going down. Obama promised to fix it in less than four years. Where´s my ObamaJob?
