All the data was pretty much uniformly crappy today - so that probably means Fraud Street will rally hard (at least +1%) into the close, as per usual.
Oh, and every time O'stumbleAndFall opens his pie-hole it probably drives 50K votes away from he and his party. At this rate he could be looking at a Carteresque blow-out should he actually chose to stand for re-election. Couldn't happen to a nicer teleprompter.

How many have exhausted the full 99? I have read 3 to 5 million so far.

I wonder if you might want to do a ticker on Obama's plan to outlaw "discriminating against the unemployed". Maybe it's not worth the attention unless it appears likely to pass - which it probably won't. It sounds like another totally crazy idea to me. As in "where the hell does the government get off?"
It's not that everyone on unemployment is a layabout, but it's also not like everyone on unemployment is NOT a layabout. Let employers do their best to ferret out prospective employees' level of ambition & moral characteristics.
I know people who look at unemployment as a 99 week paid vacation. They have no inclination whatsoever to take a job until they've run out of free money.

Don't forget "0bozocare".

This should make for an interesting Christmas shopping season. Unemployed and people on the verge of layoff do not buy much crap from China.

I don't know how anyone can layabout on the $275 (max.) that you get here in Florida. We're about to cut that down to only 23 weeks from 26 starting in January. Should make for some nice zombie scenes and more families living in their car at the Wal-Mart parking lot (Mount Dora, FL, a few weeks ago)

You can't Erica. There seems to be some misconception around here about people living high on the hog on unemployment.

In Arizona, the max UI benefit is $240/week. I'm not sure how accurate this source listed below is. I read somewhere else that Florida actually pays a lot less as only 22% qualify. Some states are very generous: Mass pays (a max) $942 a week! WoW http://fileunemployment.org/unemployment....

I feel turning our military into a mercenary force for the UN is really holding employment back.
Cue a Golf of Tonkin incident we could easily invade another 10 countries sucking up the unemployed.
