Large corporations are hoarding over One Trillion Dollars, waiting to see who comes out on top after the election. The Dow is high because of all this hoarding. If Unemployment compensation ends for millions of people the economy will be quickly effected, especially right before Christmas.

They are greedy pigs (gave themselves a raise) but when they can help this country they got to the sandbox and suck their thumbs.

The shape that the economy is in now should make them want to help people instead of hurting them. Do they understand that when someone does not have any income coming in and cannot find a job, that either that family would have to live in their cars, if they have one, or live on the street - shelters are already doing as much as they can and they are running out of space. The congress should realize that it is not just the adults who are hurting but the children are being hurt more. The congress is telling our young people who want to vote that they really are not important unless they come from a rich back ground. President Obama may have to pass the bill without the congress being involved and maybe then the congress would get their act together. If not we are going to have more people without jobs, homes, healthcare and everything else.
