Florida House gearing up to cut state unemployment benefits

The Florida House is poised Thursday to sharply cut unemployment
compensation and make it tougher for jobless Floridians to qualify for
benefits, part of a Republican-backed strategy to help bolster
struggling businesses.

This does not effect me, of course, but it is not good news. This could easily spread across the USA

This is ridiculous.....You can barely survive now......and now they want to cut unemployment.....This is crazy.....

I agree with you completely. This is insane.

The Florida legislature wants the 6 week cut under the guise it will put money back into business that in turn will create jobs. Where have we seen this ruse before? Can you say the 10 plus years of tax cuts the fed's have had in place that didn't create any jobs,but put millions if not billions into the pockets of the richest of the rich. This bill will pass with ease. Now,when Florida goes after the blue hairs and their money,the shiznit will hit the fan. The slash and burn has just begun.

question? by some miracle if bill hr589 passes and adds 14 weeks does that mean it is upto the state to take federal funds to pay for them. if thats the case with rick scott at the helm we in florida are done

I'm beginning to think that all newly elected republican governors should be recalled.....what a disaster they are creating for the citizens in their respective states.

who ever came up with the novo idea last year i woukd like to strangle them
