The unemployment extension 2010 is on the minds of many. The 99ers are going to have a difficult time this holiday season if the extensions are not passed. Back in the spring when the previous extensions expired, Congress dragged their feet and 2.5 million Americans experienced a lapse in benefits. This time, it can happen again, and amid the holiday season. Last week, the "fast-track" for the House version of the emergency benefits failed in the House. Even if it would have passed, it would have faced an uphill battle in the Senate, where the GOP has threatened to block the measure.
Many of the unemployed are hoping that the Democrats and Republicans will be able to cut a deal with each other, trading the unemployment benefits extension for the extension of Bush era Tax Cuts. However, with the GOP's Pledge to America and the Democrats licking their wounds from the aftermath of the 2010 elections, that could be difficult.
In many respects, the economy requires the passage of the unemployment extension for the holiday season. The current proposal would extend benefits until February 28th - at which point it's questionable if any further action would be taken, considering the GOP's majority in both the House and the Senate.
I have sold everything that I didn't absolutely need to get my kids through so far. I am using my friends PC, and we might be homeless soon. I went to a local factory that was hiring.. About 15 minutes later they pushed everyone away and said they can't accept any more applications..
ReplyDeleteI hope something happens soon. I am also a recent college graduate and even a degree isn't helping. I am in debt with student loans. Just a BIG mess!!
The government needs to step in at some point to force companies to hire again. Now that alot of companies out there can cut down on overhead and still survive, they are not hiring back for those positions they cut. In addition, I know that a large company has just signed contracts to outsource overseas, and is planning major layoffs. This has to stop!
ReplyDeleteunemployed for two years now is there still hope?
ReplyDeleteI don't know

Unemployed for 3 years and 4 months. I really don't have any hope left.
ReplyDeleteWhat i cant understand is , if some of us was blessed with a job tomorrow, how the hell do they think we are going to get there. It takes money to make money. The Goverment is a waste of space. It's sad that people are going homeless and starving because they can't get there act together. It's sickening.
ReplyDeleteYou notice when ever someone writes an article about the Republicans or Democrats, they make it sound like the Senate or GOP are the ones that are struggling or suffering in this DEPRESSION!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks President Obama, for being another scumbag republican that posed as a democrat.
I also want to thank John Boenher ( president of G.O.P ) I wish you get shot in the face during your Thanksgiving dinner.
BREAKING NEWS- Nancy Pelosi just stated Tier 5 will not be brought up during lame duck congress
ReplyDeleteI just heard the same thing on CNN!!!
ReplyDeleteMy comment is this both parties are to blame because the democratic party sold out the 99ers this summer when we were no included in the last extension of benefits in july 2010. Obama and the democratic party has had the votes necessary to ram a incomplete but necessary health
ReplyDeletecare bill through congress and it his hard to believe that pit bill Nancy Pelosi and Ice Cream man Harry Reid could not figure out a way to pass a tier 5 till this critical point, we had a excellent bill S3706 that not only would have extended unemployment but would have provided tax credits to businesses that hired the long term unemployed.
The repercussions is going to be civil unrest and a raise in the crime rate and shoplifting. No parent worth there salt on there bread wants to see his children or family starve and that where we as a country are at! Obama better but on heavier boots and push the republicans back a little farther, how can we as a government pay 8 billion dollar a month or day for a way,find 700 billion dollars in tax cuts for the rich with no federal budget offsets and borrow that money and go into deficit and can’t find the money for the starving middle class and here’s the game why not pay for it with budget cuts or unspent stimulus funds, so the democrats are just as bad as the republicans there just not as openly biased as the repulican bigots are!
The funny thing about the whole matter is the republican look in the camera with the same sick excuse that unemployment extensions and tier 5 will balloon the budget and with the same breath will balloon the budget not paid for to give taxes cuts to the wealthiest Americans who already said that they could never every spend all there money. With that said its time to start marching on Washington D.C and make these phoney congressman answer and put some fear in this demi gods stir the pot and make them accountable, pull them from there lofty laughing chair and let the millionaires know who voted them in and will take them out, by any means necessary!
BREAKING NEWS!!! Nancy Pelosi just stated on CNN NEWS Tier 5 will NOT be brought up during lame duck congress
ReplyDeleteUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT,IS NOT WELFARE IS A INSURANCE
ReplyDeleteI PAY TAXES FOR OVER 20. WELFARE IS THE CONGRESS
PEOPLE THAT LIVE WITH OUR TAX MONEY,THEN THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP US. FUCKING BASTARD
The government truly does not care about anyone - when they appear to show any concern it is for there gain only - no one else but they matter anymore - we are all just dirty numbers under there feet.
ReplyDeleteNancy Pelosi just stated Tier 5 will not be brought up during lame duck congress
ReplyDeleteThat's GAME OVER then.
ReplyDeleteOur country cannot afford to continue paying people to not work. Anyone can make money, maybe not as much as they would like, but there are jobs out there and everyone knows it. Any benefit beyond 26 weeks is socialism, plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteThe reason they would not vote the fast track to extend unemployment (aside from thwarting the Democratic party) is because they want to tie extending the unemployment to keeping the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. And why would that be? Because they ARE the wealthy!! It’s like voting to continue to give them more money. The next thing you know, they’ll be voting themselves raises. Now THAT’S what is important to them, their money, the management of their wealth and their friends’ wealth. They could care less about the people in this country who are suffering so long as everything remains status quo or improves for them; and of course, what Boehner wants is to make sure that Obama does not get a second term, and pretty much the he** with unemployed America on every count.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is the worst country in the entire world
ReplyDeleteTIER 5 IS OFFICIALLY DEAD - CAN WE CHANGE THE SUBJECT NOW?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing - The Republicans want to give a tax credit (that will substantially increase the deficit) to the rich - who don't need it. Yet, for those have become unemployed due to no fault of their own - Sorry Folks - we can't help you because it would cost too much.
ReplyDeleteLet's give a big Thanks to all those who voted for Republicans on Nov. 4th. I hope you're happy. Millions are now suffering and will continue to suffer as a result of your actions.
DOES THIS MEAN MY 99 WEEK VACATION IS OVER???
ReplyDeleteThe house can kiss what I can't. They don't give a crap about us. they live in their Big houses that we are paying for. What we need is someone with a set of balls to stop the free trade and bring our jobs back to the US where they belong. It's getting harder and harder to find things that are made in the US. I wonder what those companys would do if we started buy US made ONLY!!!!!P.S This is for the Company owners that have sent OUR JOBS over seas Kiss the our Asses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don’t wanna work – I WANT MY TIER 5!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do they expect me to watch cable TV and surf the internet without my extension?
ReplyDeleteGet to work ya LAZY BUMS!
ReplyDeleteI tell you what if they do not pass a tier 5, it will be hell to pay for many. I mean it will be protest, etc., Even if they just give some for a few weeks to help people. I am so tired and tired of giving my own mother money since she is out of work. She is draining me dry. I am just so sick of her. Just pass the dam tier 5
ReplyDeleteIt will not hurt them to pass a Tier 5 for everybody. I am so tired of handing money to family that has nothing. They are drinking and smoking cigarettes and not trying to find a job hard enough. My faith in Christ is gone. The rich republicans want to keep helping themselves and not the american people.Sad country we live in and the mexicans think we have it better? Please.
ReplyDeleteI've said in other articles about the repubs and the dems letting their own little games get in the way of doing whats morally right and pass the extension. I also said that if the word RECALL was mentioned enough, maybe they'd open their blind eyes and do what is right fo the American people. Come to think about maybe they should do this in all political matters
ReplyDeleteFed officials project that unemployment won't change much this year, averaging between 9.5 percent and 9.7 percent. The current unemployment rate is 9.6 percent. Progress in reducing unemployment has been "disappointingly slow," the central bank said, according to the minutes of its Nov. 2-3 meeting.
ReplyDeleteBy the time of 2012 re-election so many will be homeless, lost homes and still unemployed in poverty. We seem to ignore reality of not helping unemployed. We won't be turning around unemployment for years yet. At least not in 2011 for sure. History shows it takes more then a few years to make things better. Never ignore that. Many states will have more and more homeless and poverty. More foreclosures if we don't figure out that is cheaper to pay UI until unemployment comes down under 7% in a state. We are not saving money by thinking 99 weeks is enough. It will cost us in lives and more money if we don't help as long as it takes. We fight wars to save lives but so willing to cut people off who need help. That will cost us more lives then any 9/11 did. Plus cost this country more then what paying UI would. Please come to your senses and do some math.
WASHINGTON – Federal Reserve officials have become more pessimistic in their economic outlook through next year and have lowered their forecast for growth.
The economy will grow only 2.4 percent to 2.5 percent this year, Fed officials said Tuesday in an updated forecast. That's down sharply from a previous projection of 3 percent to 3.5 percent. Next year, the economy will expand by 3 percent to 3.6 percent, the Fed said, also much lower than its June forecast.
!SO WHEN ARE THE RIOTS AND PROTESTS? IM WAITING
ReplyDeleteI want to know when they will make it illegal to
ReplyDeleteask how long you have been unemployed and suffer
penalties for asking?
I want to know when companies will lose their EOE
status for discrimination against long term unemployed? And, should be fined if they don't
hire long term unemployed?
WHAT'S WITH THE WHITE PEOPLE DON'T THEY GO POSTAL! ALL CRAZED MAD WHITE LOONIES COME ON GET BUSY! GO POSTAL!
ReplyDeleteLets do somthing about it! http://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/99ers-forum/the-nationwide-rally-to-extend-unemployment-insurance/
ReplyDeleteAll this talk about wanting a Tier 5....How'd you like to be getting Tier 1 with an end date in December - before Christmas?
ReplyDeleteAnd, don't tell people to "get a job." Do you have any idea how many applicants there are for each and every job? We aren't being pickey; there are NOT enough jobs for everyone who wants one.
The government will pay one way or the other - either via unemployment benefits or for welfare, food stamps, medicaid, more police for the crime - so what's the best solution??
Nancy Pelosi Sucks. Remember It's Never Over. We Have To Start Marching- Start Demonstrating- If We Don't Fight For What's Ours- We Will Be Ignored- Come On- Let's Do It- It's Never Over- To Hell With What Nancy Pelosi says- She Ain't Nothing- Let's Do This !
ReplyDeleteMy layoff occured in July 2008. Only short term/ Temp. /Misc. jobs available. My 99th week was end of March 2010. I'm FUCKED!!!
ReplyDeleteThe voters spoke they would rather give money to the wealthy and have a republican base let the country capitalism run wild with no regulation while they sit back like the last 10 years ! American voters, It is the ignorant voters if they work will suffer soon 2011! Anyone who is no fault of their own under a goverment caused economic issue should get UI until the Unemployement numbers return to normal for anyone. The wealthy can talk about enough is enough because the people who got these people their wealth forgot who got them there! It is time to fight back ALL Unemployed 99er's etc.
ReplyDeleteYes I have be unemployed for 2 year. I lost my job because of down sizing. I worked at it for 21 years. Now just tring to get 99ers unemployment passed,just to surrive. I just hope all the people in Washington can enjoy there wonderful Thanks Giving dinner. Because I know there is alot of us out there that can"t afford to feed are family. Please pass the extension for us 99ers.( We really are not lazy or bad people).
ReplyDeletelet us face reality. i am 60 years old with top qualifications. no one gives a dam in this Nazi like political changes. I am going to do any job i am offered to survive. there is no hope for any extensions it's hopeless.

Ask any Hobo about economics and they say a good can opener and a water proof flint box is essential. These will be provided by the 2011 GOP TEA PARTY house.
This holiday season, expect congress to depart without passing any unemployment tier extensions. The launch for the next hobo generation of 5 million begins before Christmas.

Too bad so much negativity. We all know that life isnt fair. Tier 5 which is very unlikely is a way of saying "tomorrow I'll be stronger.....the eternal cry of the weak". Now is the time to get your act together if you dont want to be living on the streets with the reat of those waiting for a miracle. We all have skills and talents that can translate into income if we put our minds to it. Too difficult? Then keep sending out out those resumes to the young snot nose HR kids that use them for foul shots to the wastebasket and see you as their parents age.Lets get real, before it is too late.
ReplyDeleteAmen 10:28 pm Amen. No more talk of tier 5 let us get out and get to work.

ReplyDeleteVIVA MEXICO!!!!!!!! AND OUR NEW COUNTRY USA!!
ReplyDeleteThis is all very good. So, the economy has shrunk, jobs have disappeared, and big business gets bailed out.
ReplyDeleteSo, it seems everyone on State Extended Benefits gets cut off on December 4th. Bet that unemployment rate drops from 9.9% to, uh, um… well, probably next to nothing.
Hmmm… Been unemployed for 21 months. Laid off as an Executive Assistant. There have been MONTHS when there were no positions to apply to. I have several agencies looking for me as well. They have a day or a week of temporary work, here and there, but nothing permanent.
I had one agency tell me “no one is looking for what you’re offering. You have a diverse depth and breadth of experience in different fields. Most employers want either 1)someone with very little experience so they can “mold” them or, 2)someone with 10 years in the same field (manufacturing, medical, etc.). Oh, and when they see your resume, they say ‘toooo expensive’. Oh, and the four year degree you just got, means nothing, absolutely nothing.”
So, in my 40s, at the top of my game and now I’m too experienced, cost to much, and am considered non-maleable.
Well, shoot me now, it’s all over.
BTW, what does one do to pay the bills when unemployment runs out? I have no clue. I’ve never known anyone who was in this position. I will continue to work temporary assignments, but they likely will cover just the gas to get to and from them. Do I live in the street? It’s awfully cold here in Cleveland in the winters. It’s not like I have anywhere else to go.
Ha. This seems like a joke – a sick joke. These should be some of the best years of my life: the “power earning” years… what a load of crap.
This will be the first time in 35 years of hard work and paying taxes that our family won't be able to have a Christmas or Thanksgiving. We are on the verge of losing our home also. We need the tier 5 extension and need it fast if we are to have any chance of surviving and finding work. The government needs to help those who built this country and paid all those taxes for all those years. Why isn't the government helping us instead of other countries, etc. We need help at home and we need it now. Politicians, put away your egos and serve the people who put you in office!
ReplyDelete99er
You make a lot of sense 11:32. Sadly,we have come to the reality that our sickening and disgusting government officials have shown cold indifference to those victimized by their evil greed, and rich supporters whose money tricked us into voting for them. Those dirty politicians are good actors, but now the truth is out. We are PAWNS IN A RICH MANS GAME. For those who do not play chess... a pawn is a board piece than can be sacrificed to gain a better position.
ReplyDeleteMany of us are a little too young for social security, and at the age where discrimination is rampant. That means losing your belongings to get cash then, then defaulting on loans, and eventually being totally broke and seeking welfare. And young educated workers are now an exploited desparate job seeker. What a pity....middle class to poverty. As 10:28 said, we have to dig deep to realize our self worth, and promote whatever we have as individuals if findinga job seems hopeless. Maybe hopeless is the wrong word. There should always be hope ifwe believe in ourselves, and have some love in our lives. The American Dream may be fading, but we have the abiltity to remain in the place where dreams are born.
People with government student loans are screwed , because the fedearl loan is one that you cant get out of...they will take your house and possessions...no bankruptcy court in the us will dissmiss a federal loan...thats gov for ya !
ReplyDeleteHey Folks, PLEASE SPELL CHECK your posts before clicking "Post Comment." We are all trying to understand what your point is but bad spelling and grammer make it very difficult! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteForget about ANY MORE unemployment extensions, there's a war waiting for us in North Korea! The money is needed there! Screw the hungry and homeless! This is more important! Nancy Pelosi is the ugliest bitch I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteHey 12:07. Do you know the differnce between a staple and a screw. No??? You've never been stapled!!!
ReplyDeleteStudent loans are just as you said. But if push comes to shove, they will work out an extended repayment. I managed to stretch my out for 15 years as long as I sent them something without any long lapse.
12:32 SPELLING AND GRAMMAR will become much better if I sat behind a desk and earned a paycheck. Thanks for your kind advise though. At least you are reading, or tyring to read other posts instead of just writing them to see your words in print.
ReplyDelete28th AMENDMENT Taxes are collected first and foremost to benefit the citizens in an economic emergency. An emergency shall be defined as a mass natural disaster, widespread economic downturn, defending our soil against enemy attack, and subsidy of the under privileged due to loss of employment to maintain America's principle of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. A popular vote exempt from Congress or the Executive branch will determine the temporary measures to ensure a swift and fair disbursement of tax revenues.
ReplyDeleteI have read so many of the tier 5 unemployment extension blogs. I am a 99 who has been out of a job since June 2008. Sickens me when people say "get a job"...My question is...What the hell do you think I have been doing? I sure in the hell don't like living below poverty levels. My unemployment ran out in June. If it wasn't for friends helping me..I don't know where I would be. The well runs dry though with friends or family helping. I have never been in this situation EVER before of being unable to find a job. For those of you out there who think we are lazy and aren't looking....I trust you have not had a job loss during this time frame of the past couple of years. It isn't the same as it was years back. There are no jobs out there. If you happen to find one....trust me....they have so many applications trying for this position that you get lost in the pile. Networking isn't even helping me and believe me, I know a lot of people. So for those out there thinking the 99ers are just looking for a handout....you are way off base there buddy. We are trying to survive and feed our families. Buying Christmas presents isn't our main concern...we just want to be able to get our rent paid, utilities paid, put food on the table.....hell...I would love to be able to start getting the newspaper again. My phone will be turned off here soon because don't have the money to pay. So think before you put us down when you may have a job and don't worry about the basics. Walk in our shoes where we are looking for a job just about everyday and just don't hear anything back from the employer. I just hope and pray someday you don't go into work and are told we don't need you anymore...security will walk you to the door. Don't sit there and think it can't happen to you...because it happens EVERY DAY NOW~~~~ I still try to hold on to HOPE.....that is all I have right now. So don't put us down...MOST are trying very hard to find a job. I can't begin to tell you how many times I have called friends and said I have no idea how anyone would want to live like this...wondering if you can pay your power bill, keep your phones on for contacts, just the basics are beginning to become impossible to handle right now. I pray for a job yesterday and for all of the others out there struggling. Shame on all you others who think you are mightier than all of us because you are the fortunate one going to a job everyday. We use to be fortunate as well working.
ReplyDeleteFuck our goverment!!!! I dont see any of them offering Turkeys meals to the poor. As longest their families aren't affected, they dont care about us!! Who are we?? Nobody!! If you have money you're somebody. Their all sitting nice in their BIG homes nice and warm, laughing and enjoying a meal. Well the rest of us F**ken eat off the floor for all they care.
ReplyDeleteSure there are those who are milking the system but a vast majority have too much to lose to play those games. We are the ones who can't get a job. Our credit is shot and now that businesses require credit checks we have no shot at getting any jobs. We are so desparate we appky for anything but agian they are shunning us. How can the employed have the gaul to say we aren't looking and are lazy.They are the pathetic and heartless souls to even be on these sites to harass us and make us feel worse than we do already. We too may have thought that about the poor and unemployed at one time too and never thought we would be in this situation. And we never thought that our experience would hinder us from finding a new job either. Would you want to sit on your ass and lose your homes and cars and everything you own? Didn't think so. So why do you assume we do? So until you walk in our shoes butt out and MYOB. This is a grueling situation we have been thrust into and we are desparate to do what we have to to survive. We are at our wits end and just how do we survive if we can't get ANY job no matter how little it pays. We are worried sick and it gets worse daily. We need something here.
ReplyDeleteI would like to print my own money, and screw over government and society the way they have done to us.
ReplyDeleteThat's what you should all do.
Then...take your America Flag and shove up your assholes cleanly before hanging up a flagpole...like I did yesterday.

ReplyDeleteThe majority of American workers have worked hard, paid taxes, been law abiding, raised their families to be good citizens. Now many of us are out of work and loosing all we have worked for because our country has shifted it's priority to big business. Big Business used to need us but they don't now because of sending our jobs to other countries or giving jobs to foreign people. We worked for our security and freedom--it is being given to others and taken away from us. It makes no difference what color our skin is or what religion we practice--If you were born into American working class people, and you have been a honest-to-goodness red-blooded-American WHY SHOULD YOU BE TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL? That is the way I am feeling, are others feeling this way too? What can we do to get right again? All the comments about being out of money, utilities off, loosing cars and homes--How many of us are there? The numbers can't be showing all of us cause I have not been allowed to even get unemployment money since I was pushed into resigning-which is one of the tactics used by corporations to cut jobs without any cost to them. Enough from old, good-for-nothing-lazy me--put us all on icebergs and let us die so we won't cost anything! Wealthy America would love this huh?
ReplyDeleteMy family is in bad need of help from the Replublicans to get this extension passed until Feb or so, we need to get through the holidays then they can cut me off if they so well please, my family might even fall apart if we cant get through the holidays, please somebody help us.
ReplyDeleteN. Pelosi is only doing this with the UI benefits to stay in the limelight.She can't move pass losing her job. Why don't they use the others to fight for it. Where are they? Where's Reid, Mc Cormack, Stabenow, Schummer. Everybody is quiet. What's more... where is our President?
ReplyDeleteSaving Turkeys lives ! he gave two Turkey's pardon ginger and spice! tradition at the White house b4 Thanksgiving!!! what a guy!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYOU WHITE PEOPLE ARE STUPID YOU THINK REPUBLICAN MEANS WHITE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBabies are weak and helpless. They cry until they go to sleep, wake up again and cry until they are attended to. Our mealy mouthed reps see the unemployed as babies waiting for a bottle. They see the unemployed as helpless children with their hands out. We are not childrenm but as long as we keep crying and not acting like adults, we will be treated as children, and put in our place. Enough of this blog bitching and moaning. Show our government by not letting up with your dissent and intorerance for such unacceptable behaviour. Congress has stepped over the line. Enough already. Thanksgiving has very little meaning this year, except that we are alive, and have those who love us.
ReplyDeleteTHEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! 11:19
ReplyDeleteI think the only mistake that is made on this site and other sites is that people think others care. Obama does not show interest in the people. He would be up there talking to everyone. It takes more than throwing something out there and getting rejected and then leaving it up to a 1/2 completed job by Pelosi. He doesn't have enough fighters. All those people with negative comments are going to whine and cry when the bottom falls out from under them. At least we've been out there fighting back for our rights. Try UWAG site.
ReplyDeleteWe have more on our minds than spell check. We are here to voice an opinion. What's the difference. If you can't read that's your problem.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Republicans mean white. What's that about? Republicans are wealthy millionaires that were able to strategize and take over to make more money. It's about their greed and control. They are creating tyranny. People won't take it when it reaches a boiling point.
ReplyDeleteTO Anonymous:November 24, 2010 2:58 PM, who wrote the unemployed are idiots because they said that the republicans turned down the extension. Well, the democrats still have the majority vote, the new congress do not take over until JAN. Oh! by the way I watch the news and read the papers and not believe half of it. There was an event in Iraq and I was there and the news reported exactly the opposite of what happened, I guess because it sounded better the way they reported it, than the truth.
ReplyDeleteSUICIDE IS LOOKING LIKE MY OPTION.

TIME TO FIGHT MY FRIENDS! STAND UP AND SHOUT
ReplyDeletePeople often delude themselves into believing that America is a caring just nation. It's not. It's simply a jungle environment that strives to avoid responsibility for the pollution it generates, the lack of education, the lack of medical insurance. The American priorities (what we voluntarily spend our money on) include - pulp celebrity magazines (we'd much rather spend money reading about some (in)famous person than spend that money on new roads or infrastructure). Other American priorities include buying expensive sports or music tickets (even high priced scalped ones), beer, cigarettes, etc. Of course, now we even have an unimaginable debt (thank you george bush - where were all you people who complain about the obama debts when bush eviscerated the surpluses clinton generated?). America is in decline, other countries are now rising because of our bad decisions. Considering how we treat our poor, unemployed, elderly, I'd say it's about time another group of countries became the world leaders. We sure don't deserve it....
ReplyDeleteamen amen 3:28, i could not have said it better myself. the post is what it says.....just plain the truth....the truth....but speaking the truth may land you in prison since all lower and top government is all corrupt from top to bottom......watch your back at all times!
ReplyDeleteAnyone unemployed, who voted Republican, should stop complaining and kill yourself.
ReplyDeleteLONG LIVE OUR PRESIDENT!!!!OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy not!!!!! why is it that he is black? yeaI am not black but LONG LIVE OUR PRESIDENT OBAMA HE IS LOOKING OUT FOR US! THE PEOPLE
ReplyDeleteLooks like Obama just paid for the unemployment extension by freezing federal employees pay for 2 years. Here is an excerpt of the news today.
ReplyDeleteThe two-year freeze would apply to all civilian federal employees, including those working at the Department of Defense, but would not affect military personnel. The freeze is expected to save more than $5 billion in savings over two years, $28 billion over five years and more than $60 billion over 10 years, White House officials said.
That would more than pay for the needed extended unemployment benefits. I think that the tax cuts for the rich should have a freeze on them as well. If the Republicans are serious about reducing the deficit instead of just creating a smokescreen to keep the rich richer and happy, then they will pass this bill. Good move Obama. No more excuses from Republicans, pass the bill for extended unemployment its paid for.

If there are any jobs out there at all, they are not hiring "oldsters." At least if you're 62 - you can start collecting some of your Social Security. If your between the ages of 45 and 62, and you're a 99er' - you're screwed! Hopefully you've kept the weight off, because you're going to have to start whoring to keep a roof over your head and some food on the table!
ReplyDeleteBig Daddy I have 2 jobs, but I am commenting just because I don't like what you said, you white piece of trash. You can go to hell with your saltine ass. Fuck you.

ReplyDeleteF**k the country. F**k these politicians. I've been out of work for almost 3 years, my benefits expired a month ago. These m****r f*****s can send millions and billions to other countries for incentives for these jackasses to come over here and attend colleges. That's just one example, if you google it you can find a s**t load of ways money is being funneled out of this country. People are starving, losing their homes, can't buy medications they need, and the list goes on. Who is listening? These politicians don't give a shit about the people they are supposed to be representing. I'm at the point that I don't give a fuck anymore. I'm going to provide for my children no matter what. If I have to take it, then so be it. So give yourselves another pay raise you piece of shit politicians, I'm going to have to go out and take mine.
ReplyDeleteThere will be no Tier 5, that would mean American would find out the "real" unemployment figures.
ReplyDeletewhy dont all you lazy niggers get up off your lazy asses and find a job. no more free handouts for you niggers. im sick of all you people whining and crying. just go get a job and problem solved.
ReplyDeleteBig Daddy
To all you idiots saying that the unemployed get a free handout, are you kidding you dumbass. You have to pay taxes on it just as if it were a job. And you people who say we lazy, your right, we all want to sit at home, make less than half of what we used to and watch as things get turned off one by one. I would be more than happy to send you my spreadsheet of all the jobs that I have applied for and heard back from in the last two years. I have two degrees, worked since I was 16 and even graduated from high school, do you know what some places told me. I was overqualified. Oh I'm sorry, I thought education was important. So to all you jerks telling us to get off our lazy asses and get a job, do me a favor, quit yours so one of us can have it.
ReplyDeleteBlood alone moves the wheels of history! Have you ever asked yourselves in an hour of meditation, which everyone finds during the day, how long we have been striving for greatness? Not only the years we’ve been at war, the war of work !! But from the moment, as a child, when we realized that the world could be conquered. It has been a lifetime struggle. A never-ending fight. I say to you, and you will understand, that it is a privilege to fight! We are warriors! Unemployed workers of america, I ask you, once more, rise and be worthy of this historical hour.
ReplyDeleteNo revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself ..Some people will tell you UNEMPLOYMENT is a bad word. They’ll conjure up images of lazy people, This is our duty to change their perception. We must never acquiesce. For it is together! Together that we prevail! We must never concede !!! This is our duty to change their perception.I say, unemployed men…and women…of AMERICA, unite.

I wonder what percentage of 99ers are over 50. I am 58 and have been jobless for 31 months. Even though I have applied for positions making 25% of my previous income but have been told I am over qualified. Older workers have been discriminated against long before the current economic crisis. Age Discrimination laws created to protect us are not policed or enforced. I filed an age claim with EEOC and 10 months later was told that they were too busy to take my case. Being jobless, I could not afford the $10.000 minimum retainer required by the attorneys. My government has failed to protect me and millions of other 99ers that are over 50. They rather spend my tax contributions to help other countries. Can I get my money back?!?!
ReplyDeleteEXTEND BENEFITS TO 99ERS OVER 50 YEARS OF AGE OR PROTECT US FROM AGE DISCRIMINATION!!!
I've been paying taxes for 41 years and this is what I get??? I can receive my pension and social security in just 4 years but by then I will have lost all I've worked for and be homeless.
God help us all,
Diane
There is a new website expressing the feelings of a "99er"
