Before the Banks destroyed our economy I never collected unemployment. I earned 70K at last job - but now can't get a $10/hour job. I am about to become a 99er. Congress is giving hundreds of billions to Foreign dictators, Tax breaks to Wealthiest Americans and Corporations but can't extend unemployment benefits to 99ers? There are not jobs and corporations are sitting on Trillions - AND NOT HIRING. They advertise jobs - but not really hiring until maybe June or whenever...Unemployment benefits need to be given to unemployed until jobs are created in USA. Corporations keep shipping jobs overseas. Boycott foreign made products!!

I live in California, and I am ashamed to say that I had to cash a bad check to feed my family this week. The cable is off, cell phones off, we are using the neighbors internet, the water is going to be shut off Monday, I know I am not alone, what the hell? There is no outside assistance for us, no food stamps, the county is out. No welfare, I don't have kids. I guess I better refine my crimminal skills.

Voting has never been a priority<br />and now I know why? Does it really make a difference? This problem is just common sense but,this is not how it is thought of once it hits<br />the global authority system which isn't helping any of us now? <br /> If it is passed...we can be thankful but,why all of you that have authority did you allow lives to be destroyed and broken before you did<br />even consider a Tier 5 bill?<br /> What are you waiting for? More lives to be taken,houses to foreclose,homeless,hungry,credit<br />scores going to ____,? Just gas money to get to a job interview is beyond the thinking of these<br />global authoritys? <br /> This is an emergency and it is obvioius so don't throw us a bone like dogs just vote to enact the right humanitarian Tier 5 Bill before <br />more lives lose everything while your on vacation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167519509406116316.post-90885965726008590932010-08-19T17:58:32.414-04:002010-08-19T17:58:32.414-04:00One would think that since you are an American and...One would think that since you are an American and pay your dues along the way, that you will always have someone looking after your best interest. The American way they would say. Well, the American way is a dream, and the American dream is a picture book that removes the reader from reality. When the flag is flown and the songs are sung, we all get teary eyed. We close our eyes and we have this deep sense of patriotism, but when we open our eyes we realize that America isn't what we would like it to be. In our minds America really is nature, a vision without people, buildings, cars, or anything man-made. America is the 60 seconds at the close of CBS Sunday Morning hosted previously by Charles Kuralt, and now by Charles Osgood. What we see when our eyes are open is everyone in it for themselves, corruption created by power and greed, expectations of government that turn to discouragement. Why can't things get done? I'm sure that we all wouldn't trade countries despite it all and that's why we all feel this way. Maybe one day?Is there really an America?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167519509406116316.post-23837912880655127952010-08-18T21:48:17.334-04:002010-08-18T21:48:17.334-04:00Please pass it I'm losing hope and I'm so ...Please pass it I'm losing hope and I'm so lost on what to do and how to survive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167519509406116316.post-40989328343064549582010-08-18T21:39:22.347-04:002010-08-18T21:39:22.347-04:00To whom it may concern: I'm a 99er i have been...To whom it may concern: I'm a 99er i have been looking for a job for 3 years!!! 3!!!
