House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has confirmed her support for an emergency bill that would add an extra 13 weeks of benefits to the unemployed. This is a good move, but far too little and too late for the millions of people who have been unemployed for the past two years and are no longer on the unemployment rolls. It could also be a distraction from the broader issue of millions of people and small businesses that desperately need help. Pelosi and the members of Congress should begin working on an economic stimulus package, in the form of direct payments to individuals, immediately. The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 that was passed by Congress and signed by then-President George W. Bush gave $300 checks and tax cuts to nearly every American. While it was clearly a pittance, it was at least something. Since that time, countless people and small businesses have lost everything, while nearly $2 trillion has been approved for Wall Street firms and major corporations. Yet the economy still lags. The time has come for Congress and President Barack Obama to turn their attention to the people, and implement a major and substantial package for individuals. If not, next November could mark a sad election cycle for the mostly Democratic incumbents.
