Reed tries to help desperate jobless in Rhode Island

       I just caught this breaking news on providencejournal.com : "  Reed tries again to extend emergency unemployment benefits " ( March 5 ). The story points out 2 million people in the United States and 8000 here in Rhode Island are affected by this Congressional cold hearted stinginess.  Congressman Jack Reed has been a foreign policy expert for some time now-and is quite well respected. But he must see the irony of our readiness to give -just for starts- a billion dollars to a dubious new regime in the Ukraine. No waste of tax payer money here ?
       Not every cheap weekly revolution in the world is  1776 America  or 1917 Russia .Everywhere the real war is still mostly class war. A sad and bitter truth.
