The Story Behind The Texas State Unemployment Insurance Shortfall

Submitted by phil on July 19, 2009 - 5:33pm

The fund that pays unemployed Texans is close to insolvency.  To deal with the impending critical situation, the State of Texas has recently asked the federal government for a $170 million loan to keep benefits going to those who need it.  There are two points here that everyone needs to know however.  1) We knew it was coming and 2) our governor played politics at the cost of the unemployment insurance fund.

At tonight's meeting, the group decided to hold off on picking a new book in favor of letting everyone bring a list of selections for consideration next month... the plan is to pick all of the books for the remainder of the year so that everyong can have a better chance of getting the books read :)
 
So, if you have a book or two that you'd like to see us read, send your list to bookclub@rockwalldems.com and we'll compile a list for the next meeting...
