So Far, 25 States Have Emptied Their Unemployment Funds | Crooks and Liars:

"You have to love how utterly shameless these Republican oligarchs are. In the middle of a massive recession, a Republican governor is complaining about 'Rolls Royce' unemployment benefits in Indiana. By 'Rolls Royce,' I assume he means anyone who's getting enough money to pay for heat is living too damned high on the hog.

Maximum weekly unemployment benefit in Indiana: $360.

But that's not even news, is it? That the party that so happily poured billions of untracked dollars down the memory hole in Iraq is suddenly so thrifty when it comes to us cannot be a shock to any sentient being:

The recession's jobless toll is draining unemployment-compensation funds so fast that according to federal projections, 40 state programs will go broke within two years and need $90 billion in loans to keep issuing the benefit checks."

Can't disagree with a word of this
