Long term unemployed need a long term fix

With the long term unemployed needing tier V extended benefits and being kicked off of the unemployed roles, the unemployment rate is surely to decrease creating a false flag that the economy is getting better. The federal government is using tax payer funds to bail out everyone else, except for the people who need it most, the one's creating economy. Once the funds dry up for the terminally unemployed there is no where to turn to.

Congress has to create a permanent fix to get us back to work, get our economy up and running, and support the folks who create economy in the first place.

All the years I have paid taxes, supported our economy, and just when I need the funds that I contributed they tell me no...there has to be equity. I have worked consistently for over 30 years, I am sure that I have contributed much more than they could ever compensate me for with unemployment.

Congress has to see the long term impact of kicking people off of the emergency extended benefits. There needs to be a tier V to support the folks that are the longest unemployed; especially since there are no jobs available.
