About 2 mins on Ft. Hood and how he met with FBI Director Mueller this morning.
Unemployment rose to 10.2% when they were expecting 9.9%
He is expanding unemployment benefits to 20 weeks for approx 1 million
of the 15.7 million unemployed.
He says this will help the economy as it will create jobs as this money is spent
on food and shelter.
The stimulus will help as it is spent on roads and bridges.
I guess he means the 9 month old shovel ready jobs.
