I heard on the news tonight (Friday night) that 38 states are very close to running out of unemployment funds! The news said that these states could be out of funds by the end of this year (Dec. 31, 2008). It went on to state that if indeed the states do run out of funds, the federal government will have to step in and 'bail them out'. Their words. Not sure how much more bailing out our government can do. Wow.
