Is Unemployment Compensation Failing?

Here is the link to what I feel is a very disturbing article about unemployment benefits and the millions of unemployed Americans who are NOT receiving benefits from the program. Like so many things in life, if you've never had need to file for benefits, you may say, "Ah, there's no problem," or "We can't take care of everyone!" or, if you're one of those great conservative moralists, you might resort to one of those infamous...ah...I mean famous lines like, "Pull yourself up by your boot straps," or "There's no free lunch." Do these lines count for bankers and CEOs, too? Anyway, with the economy in a tumble, just think what could happen to you if your job is terminated. What if YOU can't collect benefits? What will happen to you?

(No word history this time)
