“So 99 weeks of 1/4-1/6 (or less) of your salary to people who have been paying in for 25, 30 years, or more in some cases, is too long when unemployment continues to be so high and corporations are paying record bonuses AGAIN?”
I didn’t say that 99 weeks was too much. But I do think there has to be some limit.
As for paying for 25-30 yrs etc, I think that’s a good argument – the more people paid in the more they should get out. That would imply that younger workers should get lower benefits but may make sense, especially as most of the long term unemployment seems concentrated among people in their 40’s and above.

“Question: how would you propose that we pass a law altering this supply chain?”
Make it all in the USA. (I mean, that’s an answer, not saying I believe in it).

Folks;
I posted this before, but in case anybody didn’t see it: the big banks have developed a common web-site for available positions of ALL types:
http://www.jobsatthetop.org
Don’t be fooled by its title: they list all sorts of positions.
Me too, cobble.
