Bobby Jindal Loves Extending Unemployment Benefits...
...when he doesn't have plans to kick Obama out of the White House.
Back in 2005, shortly after a different crisis, good old Jindal co-sponsored a bill that extended unemployment benefits 52 weeks after the day the area was declared a disaster. So a federal extension of 52 weeks is entirely okay, but the 20 weeks Obama wants is out of the question?
Being unemployed as a result of a hurricane and being unemployed as a result of an economic collapse have the exact same effect: you still need to eat, and you still don't have a job.
