Yesterday I received a letter stating that my unemployment benefits may be extended.

Good news, great news actually, if I am eligible.

The bad new is it's only for 13 weeks, not 26.

And guess who got the credit for the bill?

"signed by President Bush on June 30, 2008"

1. I opened my own SMALL business. it has failed and I'm not eligible for shit

technically the business is still open, but it's dried up and blowing in the wind. Congrats on the extension.

2. I am so sorry.

I hope you can survive until it picks up again, I've been oow for almost a year.

That's what the bush administration should be getting the credit for, the bastards aren't giving us anything, they're just recycling some of our own money back to those of us on the bottom.
And they didn't even want to do that.
Bush threatened to veto the bill and every vote against it in the house was republican.

3. I'm so sorry. We're struggling as well.

Just trying to keep things going at this point. We had several months of lull, then a good month - now slowing again. There's no way we can live off of our company. Pretty much everything we make goes right back in to inventory :(
