It's totally fucked up that they're doing that, but I'm even more hopeless because my dad doesn't even HAVE unemployment benefits, and he's been out of work almost a year. He didn't qualify because his employers didn't "exactly" fire him, he sort of wanted to go, but no really they basically pushed him out the door and it was all just fuzzy enough to mean he's had NO MONEY coming in for 10 months. I'm really angry for him and worried and yeah. He has to sell his house soon, which itself will not be a fun job, and after that... well. I don't know.

Um, sorry about the random rant. It's just really upsetting. Obviously the other situation is just as bad for people and congress should work to help them, but it angers me that my dad doesn't even have that tiny amount of support.
