ATLANTA (AP) — Some 41,000 Georgia residents will lose their unemployment benefits if Congress does not extend unemployment insurance.

The U.S. Department of Labor on Tuesday released state-by-state figures on the number of individuals who would lose their benefits if the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program is not extended.

Federal officials say that some 400,000 Americans could lose unemployment benefits during the first weeks in March. It says nearly 3 million people could be left without these benefits by May.

Yeah, kinda horrible to imagine what things would be like if McCain (One of the principle architects of this recession.) and Palin were in charge. 10 percent unemployment would be looking like paradise right about now. Its so touching that the folks who got us into this mess fall over themselves to take away the only thing keeping folks afloat. Remember folks, they are perfectly willing to put your less fortunate neighbors out into the street and they do it to YOU if they get a chance.
