Our state representatives seem to have their priorities all screwed up. Doesn’t it make sense that the No. 1 priority is to make jobs available to those on unemployment? And then address the time limit and payments for those unemployed. If the unemployment time and payments are cut, then more people will be thrown into the welfare state and possibly have more foreclosures on their homes.

How does this save the state money? Representatives need to address the job market first.
