As the GOP prepares to cut off Unemployment Benefits

The people who see their lives balance on the edge of a cliff are getting frustrated and angry.
Tempers flared at an unemployment office in Louisville, Ky. as the end nears for federally-funded extended jobless benefits.

Local CBS affiliate WLKY captured a bit of the scene on Monday -- amid some commotion, a man can be heard saying in a raised voice, "What did you just say to me?"

WLKY reported that "at least two people were escorted out" of the office. With the threat of benefits expiring for 100,000 Kentuckians, WLKY reported, "tempers are flaring."
Needless to say, those who are comfortable and, sadly, safe in their positions have made preparations for this situation.
It's the type of scene that contributed to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development's decision to add armed guards to each of its 36 field offices where workers can file unemployment claims (previously only some of the offices had armed security).
Shoot a few of the ringleaders and the rest will fall back into line. Works every time.

If you have a few extra bucks or free time, give to a Food Bank to help those getting fucked.
