This morning’s story on the upcoming vote on an unemployment extension in the New York Times included a blurb on Dan Coats’ continued opposition to reinstating benefits to nearly fifty thousand Hoosiers who have become victims to the latest batch of Republican roadblocks.
In one case, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee issued a statement noting that Dan Coats, the Republican Senate candidate in Indiana, had backed Republican efforts to block the jobless pay unless it was offset with cuts elsewhere.“Due to Republican obstructionism, over 48,000 unemployed Hoosiers have already lost their unemployment benefits,” the Democratic statement said.
Dan Coats owes Indiana an explanation for why he refuses to support those who have been hit hardest by these tough economic times.
Dan Coats is not going to represent the middleclass or poor as he has forgotten what they are. He is for multinational big money corporations like BP who is was a paid lobyist for and for big investment wall street banks who he was a paid lobyist also for. Brad Elsworth knows what the middleclass and poor are and has not been corrupted by Washington special interest like Mr. Dan has. We need jobs and the Government needs to be creating them like FDR did in the 1930s. Roads need to be fixed, schools need to be repaired and nursing homes enlarged. Untill we have jobs we need to give the unemployed help and now. Coats is just mean.
