LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Unemployment benefits for more than 100,000 people in both Kentucky and Indiana could run out in a matter of days if Congress doesn't act. Many people are filing for benefits, others are looking for jobs, but with the threat of benefits running out, tempers are flaring. In the time that a WLKY reporter was at the Louisville Office of Employment and Training, at least two people were escorted out. Right now, benefits are scheduled to run out Wednesday for people who have been jobless for more than six months. Congress could take up the issue as early as Tuesday. Even if both houses of Congress move quickly, there will still be administrative odds and ends that will likely delay checks for at least a few weeks. "There aren't any jobs out here. People come out here everyday. Half of these people don't have any money to buy their kids any Christmas. They didn't even have Thanksgiving. It's pitiful," said Izile Leucas, who is unemployed. "Going into the holiday season, they're all concerned. They're wondering how they're going to provide for their kids over Christmas and that's a sad story. It's a sad situation. We can just stress to them that we will do everything we can to help them find a job," said Gary Wise with the Office of Employment and training. A rushed effort to fund extended benefits failed in Congress earlier this month. The unemployment rate in Kentucky was 10 percent in the month of October and 9.9 percent in Indiana.

Do you like money in your pocket? Domino's Pizza drivers are paid cash nightly, which includes: tips and mileage reimbursement!
This is from personal experience, isn't it?
Buckle up, hit the open road and start making hungry people happy as a delivery driver for Pizza Hut®. That’s right, we’ll pay you to cruise around in your mobile office – your car – listening to your own tunes and delivering great pizza – and pasta. What more could you want? Independence, good music and great food – with tips!
So you work for Pizza hut too? Too bad Ron Paul fired your ass. Things have really gone into the toilet for you since then, haven't they?
I actually have done it in years past as away to earn some extra bucks and know these jobs are available just about anywhere in any economy if you have flexible hours. If you want to work, there are jobs there. I doubt I will ever do it again, though.
I doubt I will ever do it again, though. Most have had menial jobs of one type or another. I worked through highschool as a dishwasher, then a prep cook at the old Cambridge Inn Cafeteria's...long gone now I think.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
There are people who make a career out of pizza delivery. You can make 50,000 dollars a year doing it, working in the right store. Not great, but not exactly peanuts either. You do run your car into the ground, though, and risk being killed a lot more than most jobs.
He's had a rough time since Ron Paul fired his sorry ass...
Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
How long have you been employed by Pizza Hut, skippy?
True, but you are forced to live in a very large metropolitan area.

Another sign to liberal pussies that the economy is recovering!
