Missouri could cut unemployment benefits to as little as eight weeks. The state House has passed a bill that would base the amount of time someone could get jobless benefits on the unemployment rate. The lower the unemployment rate, the fewer weeks a person could get jobless aid.

State Representative J. Eggleston from northwest Missouri’s Maysville, is sponsoring the bill. He states that this bill would provide jobs and get the economy back in order.
On the opposite side, State Representative Peter Merideth from St. Louis, is in opposition to this bill, stating plainly that he hates this bill, and that it is akin to kicking people when they’re down.
