| November 20, 2008 Bush would extend jobless benefits
|
WASHINGTON (AP) - Because of the tight job market, the White
House says President George W. Bush would sign legislation pending
in Congress to further extend unemployment benefits.
The Senate this week is expected to take up a bill already
passed by the House that would extend unemployment insurance for
those whose benefits have run out. The Senate vote could occur as
early as Thursday evening and would require support from 60
senators to pass.
White House press secretary Dana Perino says Bush is "always
concerned" when people lose their jobs and is eager to help ease
their economic situations.
