House Republicans have revived their efforts to slash unemployment insurance (UI) benefits and dismantle the foundation of UI as an essential lifeline for working Americans who suffer involuntary job loss. In typically cynical fashion, they are pursuing these plans as part of the effort in Congress to renew the federal extensions of unemployment insurance through 2012 -- and under the guise of "reform."
As shameful as their efforts are, we can still have some fun fighting back. Please share your ideas for a caption for the cartoon in the comments!
