Either way it goes, I say it should be extended to all unemployed or the jobless as they've come to call us no matter what percent of unemployment your state falls into. Truly sad how the government has us resorting back to caveman times. History repeats itself so well because we've let it. Our own citizens who were raised from a baby just like the rest of us unto an adult now runs America and forget where they came from. God is going to start making some changing sooner than we think.

AMEN<br /><br /><br />I personally would love to work doing anything at this point. 370 applications since November, one interview. Which I was told I was too nice to be a manager and over qualified to be an employee. I just applied for cash assistance for the first time with the state of Florida and was told unless I can pay rent I can't get help. I do not understand that at all. I worked 2 to 3 jobs my entire life at the same time. I have had 2 part time seasonal jobs since 2008. 3 of the jobs I've had went to another country. Americans need to stand together and say bring our jobs and factories back to American soil.

Whether democrat or a republican, I strongly believe like many others that it's all the same. Truth be told if people still remember from thier history classess, years ago many many years ago, democrats used to actually be more unjust than the republicans of today. I'm A.A. and know this to be a part of all our history no matter our backgrounds and race is. Revalation is upon us like white on rice, that's why you have people like Charles Johnson leaving such unremorseful comments. His soul is already doomed for a special spot in hell, which I don't wish upon anyone. It just goes to show how careless and heartless man has become over time. For instance, the people over in Pakistan home is constantly be covered by water leaving the people of the land to live off of the enemies benefits while their government sits back and debate on what's the best solution on feeding and sheltering them. You see how swiftly the devil moved in on them, by having the enemies try and take the upper hand knowing these people will take what ever is being issued to them to provide for their families. I might be inncorrect about the exact country but I'm sure someone on here knows what I'm talking about. This way when it's time for them to vote on leaders or whatever they do to elect government officals the poor is going to be in favor of their once enemies only to repeat the past. We as Americans will also be repeating the past. Before it gets to the point of going to far back it's going to be some major blood shed and tears to fall upon the good ole US-of-A. I'm a 99er myself but my faith relies on the creator of the heavens and earth, not man. I've always asked myself why in the hell do we have to elect anyone to run a country? When it wasn't certain peoples land to begin with? Stolen from Aztecs ancestors, but no want to make immigration illegal. I pray for us all because at the end of the day we are going to all need more than just 20wks of extensions. May the Lord in Heaven have mercy on us all and pray for the sick and flicked all over the world. Amen, lights and water. Praying for help for everyone and for mankind to find some bit of heart and compasion for other fellow men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167519509406116316.post-68653016122400277482010-08-20T09:19:52.770-04:002010-08-20T09:19:52.770-04:00I hollered that before, why bail out the banks, au...I hollered that before, why bail out the banks, auto industries, etc., when people have no money to even go to the banks, buy a car, etc, give the american people that money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167519509406116316.post-44622187915343758822010-08-19T23:47:18.868-04:002010-08-19T23:47:18.868-04:00what the hell is going on im about to lose everyth...what the hell is going on im about to lose everything what little bit it is and it sucks .there is not no work you stupid congressmen get a clue and help out the people who got us where we are now hello people wake up help out peace outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167519509406116316.post-61528314212681662362010-08-19T22:59:35.203-04:002010-08-19T22:59:35.203-04:00What drastic measures do we 99ers have to do for c...What drastic measures do we 99ers have to do for congress to give us what we worked for all these years!!Do'nt they know that with out our votes they are nothing.

They are worried about national debt while we as Americans who have lost our jobs due to no fault of our own is just worried about surviving. Therefore, EVERYBODY on this site, needs to send the White House, Nancy Peloski, their congresman, etc., emails, faxes, calls, etc., begging for the Tier 5 while we try and continue to look for work. Don't let the racial comments on here and that fool Charles Johnson, or that comment about Obama's ss number worry you. I could care less about a person's color, where they came from, as long as my family is okay with a roof over their heads, clothes, and food. I agree Obama had to stress to them that we needed another extension and they VETOED it down for the 99ers and the job creation bill. But the REpublicans want to continue taking care of the rich.

This is not about race and the president can only do so much if you had some sense, you would realize that he had to beg them to pass the last one and it did not get passed until that new democrat was sworn it.
