Why do republicans hate veterans and the poor?

Just in time for Christmas, on December 28 the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program will expire unless Congress takes action. This means that just days after Christmas, on January 1st, 1.3 million people stand to lose their unemployment benefits. Did you just shiver?

Sandy Levin (D-MI) and Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) introduced a bill last month to extend the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation program through 2014, but so far, our Republican-led House is too busy with hearings on ObamaCare to address matters of poverty stricken children and veterans.

The Ways and Means Committee Democrats released a new report today showing the devastating effects on military veterans and children of unemployed Americans set to take place upon the expiration of the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation program.

More than 20,000 veterans would immediately be cut off from federal unemployment insurance the week of Dec. 28 if Congress does not reauthorize the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program.

As many as 2 million children could be impacted by ending the federal EUC program.

Without the federal EUC program, less than a quarter of unemployed Americans would have received unemployment benefits, the lowest UI recipiency rate for Americans looking for work in more than 50 years.

JP Morgan did their own research and they found that the expiration of the EUC benefits could lower labor force protection, which would in turn depress the unemployment rate, and any further decline in the unemployment rate could complicate the Fed’s communication efforts. “Another potential effect is through reduced spending by benefit recipients. EUC currently pays out benefits at around a $20-25 billion annual rate; should that flow dry up, consumer spending could take a hit in 1 Q, perhaps subtracting around 0.4% -pt from annualized real GDP growth in that quarter.”
 
Meanwhile no mention that Obama wants to cut military pay and benefits, shut down all U.S.-based commissaries, as well as he is proposing to limit troops' pay raise this year to 1 percent, instead of the 1.8 percent cost-of-living rate.

Why does Obama hate the military?

Aside from your baseless and ridiculous claim about exchanges and comissaries, Obama doesn't fund. Congress does.

I'm not going to look this up for you but I saw your Fox News source.

If you were smart you would know that the Left would NEVER cut funding to commissaries. They are "Bleeding Heart Liberals" for a reason, not because they want to win elections like you simple minded turds think. They will pay the cost for good will to others.

Obama is a turd but its almost like he is a GREEDY Capitalist that heard the people screaming "we need to cut defense costs" and was too stupid to know where.

Anyone with a brain knows that Corporations control Politicians, this would make sense if you had a clue kid.
 
Hurry, hurry, hurry.......call the whambulance....don't let those 2,000,000 kids starve....
