What world do you live in?$600 was a bipartisan agreement. Any talk of a cap is not remotely possible given the age of the systems in most states. Also how would a "cap" even be implemented. Does the fed make up the difference? When the difference in maximum jobless benefits between a state like Florida is less than half of Massachusetts does our federal tax dollars make up the difference? Any talk about anything but a flat dollar amount is political pandering and you should not fall for it. The number needs to be figured out and OUR elected officials have failed us in a spectacular fashion.</blockquote>
