House propose to extend unemployment benefits...

[wkuhillhound]

to people that live in states that the unemployment of 8.5% or higher. There are approximately 300,000 people whose benefits will end this month. The proposal will extended benefits for 13 more weeks. Highest is Michigan with over 15% and the lowest is North Dakota at only 4.2%. This would effect most of the South, Pacific, and Midwest. Some Northeastern states will be effected also.

I'm about to lose my primary job. I have already lost one income stream. Why doesn't congress do something that would help keep people employed or get those out of work employed again? Why do they just make an effort to give the unemployed money?

It's easier this way.....kind of like how a dealer will throw you a free G every now & then so you don't think about spending your next paycheck on something ridiculous like rehab.....or rent....

So you're saying the average American is addicted to what Washington is pushing, and if we get a bone from time to time we will continue to buy it?

Didn't the last election prove that? And if not the last one, then the one before that?

[bobbythekidd]

My comments were tongue in cheek. The popularity contest mixed with the propaganda from folks like TTBF makes me sick. Jim Crow may be one of the worst things given to the US.

Yeah phuck that bs, I been unemployed and unemployable for ever, and never collect any bennys from all the high fillutin upper income earners out there, regardless of their voluntary generosity. Mow frucking lawns, chop wood, run errands for little old ladies, and take out and not put in the collection plates at your local house of worship, but do not lean on the productive few and rightfully entitled elite of our country any more, they feel they have more than paid their fair share for the welfare of our country. And I plan on being one of them. I am in the process of attending anti-sensitivity training right now to prepare me as the newest member of the Repricklican party.

Beginning tomorrow my new mantra is, Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for yourself!

naive, I have been flooded with job offers ever since black Jesus got elected, and I am so pissed off at him for giving me opportunities that I can not refuse, when I really want to.

So, WTF is your point?

BTW, we hook up in Missoula in October, I am going to give you such a pinch!!

BS. You installed cable for a bit, sold insurance, and now doing it again on a wholesale level. Everyone know you are reaping the residuals on the insurance gig. I know you worked at a funeral home but I am not sure how long ago that was. You're just stirring the pot.

The point is that I take perverse joy in baiting my posts with obamalies. Thank you for biting.

I will be sure to wear my iron jock strap to Missoula. Gonna sit in the (small) purple section with me? Last year it was on the 50 yard line, 20 rows up...

Obamalie: Ask not what you can do for your country... ask Acorn what you can do to lie, cheat and steal from your country!

Not the average American, just the 52% who voted for Obama.

They create a subset of permanent voters. Vote for us and your benefits will continue. If we don't win then it's back to work for the lot of you. Work. Responsibility. Supporting yourself. These things suck. Vote Democrat!

The same reasoning they use for universal healthcare.

Your a dope smoker, aren't you? Well, I knew I liked you, but that just confirms it! Keep toking brother!

But, I would like to point out to you that as one of those high fallutin's you want to emulate, you might want to reconsider. See, you will suddenly become unpatriotic because you haven't been pulling your weight around here, despite the fact that 49 cents out of every dollar you produce goes to support the rest of the lazy fuckers around here. But, that's just because you are a selfish, racist.
