Senator: Extending Unemployment Benefits Would Do ‘Disservice’ To Unemployed

http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2013/12/09/3036681/rand-paul-unemployment/



Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said that while he supports unemployment benefits for workers up to 26 weeks, he doesn’t support extending them beyond that cutoff.

“I do support unemployment benefits for the 26 weeks that they’re paid for,” he said. “If you extend it beyond that, you do a disservice to these workers.”
