We each are responsible for ourselves. If when you went to school and you paid attention you would know how to spell and correctly use grammar. If you didn’t pay attention whose to blame? If you didn’t go to school or didn’t finish whose to blame? Certainly, not the government, Congress, nor Pres. Obama.

Viktor, anyone who has been unemployed since 2006 should be ashamed of themselves unless some unresolvable medical condition prevents them from taking any kind of job be it bagging groceries, collecting carts from parking lots, or working at a minimum wage job. You are fortunate enough to have investments on which you can rely but instead of walking away from your obligations why not have used those investments to honor the business deal with those you wind up stiffing? Oh I forgot, it’s a ME first society isn’t it. Perhaps that’s why we’re in the situation we are.

Waitressing is a hard job – on your feet all day long – tolerating arragant customers some of whom leave no tip – but it would also lead one to believe that there is a lack of a solid background which would allow one to obtain a better job. Your wife seems to be holding your family together and for that she is to be applauded. What does she get out of it when you declare bankruptcy – after she has worked so hard to maintain?

Viktor, you are shameful unless I am completely missing your situation.

I, too, am unemployed through no fault of my own except business decisions that made it necessary and I am older than you and can hardly expect anyone to hire anyone of my age although I am highly skilled – but I will continue to pay my indebtedness to whomever since I created it.

I am not an Obamaphobe and will vote in Nov to unseat all incumbents that are not supporting the citizens of this great country and its Constitution. There is plenty of blame to go around and wasting time and effort on blaming accomplishes nothing.

We as Americans are going to have to arrive at the conclusion that we no longer have a reasonable Republic based on enforceable law. The rights and liberties we cherish are, simply put, going to have to wrested away from this oversized, bloated government and put back into the hands of those who know and remember the type of country the founders asked us to maintain. This mens we are going to have to ignore and circumvent the old government in order to re-establish the law and order we are used to seeing and the responsibility and accountablity needed from leadership that serves the people. This administration and this congress should be struck from the books as ineffective, incapable and to irresponsible to be considered to govern.

at yourself.

there was a time in my life when i couldn’t find employment so i employed myself by starting my own business. i sold my home and used the money to get started, the hours were long and there was no time for
weekend leisure. i remained self employed from then on.
we have a nation full of people that depend on big government to feed them, healthcare them and they expect employment to be furnished. i believe the constitution says something like “pursuit of happiness” it didn’t say the gov. was going to insure a job. so instead of blaming someone take a loo

SHEEPLES must be fed, housed, clothed,by the Big Daddy Obama-Bush Federal Government.The outrage expressed in this blog for not being taken care of, shows the country is doomed. Fact: The Repubs only wanted the extension of unemployment to be paid for from cuts somewhere and Demos, who have NO Budget, want to just print the money or take it out of the Stimulus Slush Fund.If you as voters/citizens only care about your immediate needs and look to government to save you then the politicians you elect will continue to print money until it is worthless and you and your grandchildren will be broke for 50 years to come and slaves (sheeple).
People, 2011 and 2012 will be MUCH WORSE, get ready NOW as best you can.

However they did it, they’re right. Either make sure the damned thing is PAID FOR, or let it DIE. I know that’s almost impossible for a progressive mind to ‘understand,’ but that’s also REALITY, folks.
I can only hope that Herr Obummer’s jock straps are utterly enraged that The Anointed Whatever can’t deliver on all of his misbegotten promises to destroy America ASAP. So solly, by golly.
Like Robert Burns said, “The best laid plans o mice and men gang aft agley.” In other words, “tough #^&*, progressives. Welcome to the real world. Savor the flavor, and enjoy.

Let me begin by saying that I am one, as is my wife, of those long term unemployed. To make matteres even worse for me, I’m over60 and I work in construction! Clearly, my resume is not on top of anyones “to hire list”!
That being said, the simple facts are that first of all, the country is broke! Secondly, they have the money, allready set aside, to cover this if they would!
Their claim that they must pass this unfunded, rings false! If that were true, then where did they get the 2 billion to send to China, for wind turbines, the 2 billion they sent to Brazil, for off shore drilling, and the 648 million they sent to Russia, for helicopters???
The words of Alexis DeTocqueville and Alexander Tytler are ringing in my ears! While they wrote this in the 18th. century, they could have been written yasterday, they ring so true!!!

Folk’s…It’s all about the unions!

obama is a mob boss for the unions plain and simple.

I will have to say though, that the tax-payers cannot continue to support the 52% of the non-working population. The governments dependancy programs such as welfare are running dry due to the sticky fingers of washington. ( pay-outs to the unions ).

Hey folks, well just saw the latest polls on CNN, course they spent like 30 minutes bashing the democrats, but the new numbers show 46 PERCENT OF AMERRICANS BLAME REPUBLICANS FOR THE CRAP ECENOMY.. Course I would be willing to bet that number is probably higher, but the government controlled media likes to play with numbers.. Hey folks plz remember what these criminals have done come November, I’ll bet their counting on us ‘lazy’, ‘drug addicted’ unemployed to just forget about how these criminals are making people suffer and lose everything they have. Personally I just had to sell some things to pay our electric bill.. THANKS REPUBLICAN SENATORS, SUCH A GREAT HOLIDAY INSTEAD OF CELEBRATING, AMERICANS GET TOSSED ONTO STREETS LIKE OLD CARPET…

Like I have been posting on different sites these criminals have no problem adding another 50 billion dollars to fund 2 wars we shouldn’t be in, they have no issue adding 3.5 Billion to Haiti, but when it comes to American citizens they look at us like we don’t even exist..

Course these same dirtbags still wonder as to why our economy is down the toliet.. Gee do they need some lessons in economics?? We currently import almost anything from China, but the USA is only allowed to import a very small amount into China to sell.. Big buisness only pays pennies for “tarrifs”, meaning companies who were once here moves their company out of the country for cheaper wages… Then they turn round and sell their products back into the USA for us to buy.. Companies that do this pay “tarrifs”, well right now companies would rather pay “pennies” than pay normal wages.. Untill things like this get corrected companies will continue to leave.. DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER ROSS PEROTS FAMOUS LINE BACK WHEN NAFTA WAS SIGNED IT WOULD BE A GIANT SUCKING SOUND OF JOBS LEAVING THIS COUNTRY.. GUESS WHAT FOLKS, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED.. Soon this country will be a country of low level paying service jobs..

On a final note, to all the employed people who seem to enjoy kicking their fellow American when their down.. SHAME ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF U! Your fellow Americans are suffering, some losing their homes and everything they own… When you lose your job, and if things keep going the way they are, you will and when you do remember all those cold postings you put up and don’t apply for unemployment. It’s already bad enough to have a bunch of criminals in office who care about other countries but could care less about the typical American, but you are worse then they are.. Im sure there are thousands upon thousands of families that have someone who has served in the military, they fought for this country for you and heres your thanks.. A BIG MIDDLE FINGER!! THAT IS HOW YOU THANK A VET, KICK EM AND THEIR FAMILY OUT ON THE STREET!! WHAT A WONDERFUL COUNTRY..

The non-passing of the Unemployment Act effects me personally. I have a son who did what Obama told him to do – go back to school, after being a Blue Collar worker for many years. So, he went back to college, got his Master’s degree, but now can’t find a job. What employment he had, the unemployment has run out. So, he and his little family are trying to keep their house on a Waitresses salary, and the unemployment rate in Florida is 11.7 according to stats. He is a Teacher. They can’t move because house prices have dropped so they can’t get what they owe for their house, there are no jobs, they are no longer hiring even Subst Teachers, and our Congress goes on vacation with not affording the people who put them in office a way to be whole. On my small SS check where again Congress didn’t vote us a raise last year and it is questionable whether they will again this year (while they make their salaries of $174,000+ yearly)I am trying to help them put food on their table, cloth them and send them a little $’s in the mail. Now, something just doesn’t add up when we, the people voted for these Congressmen and yet they don’t respect a financial situation of people like my son, who not only has lost his enthusiasm of graduating Cum Laude, but also has lost his self esteem with Congress not giving any help until this economic mess is over. I think that any State that has over 8% should be afforded continuing extension of Unemployment benefits, until this economy gets going, and according to stats, that won’t be for several years. So, Congress cuts our unemployment, cuts the SS and maintains their salaries and increases while we the people that voted them in are penalized. My suggestion – fire them all and start with a new slate, but how do we convince the American people to Fire all these selfish Congress men for their lack of empathy, compassion for the people who voted for them, and them forgetting who elected them. We need a whole new breed of people in Congress that will work for the people, not against them. I have written to the President several times, yet never get any reply regarding the unfairness of Congress, nad the unemployment situation, so how do we correct the injustice our government officials are forcing us to accept. We are now getting into a mode of a class society – Government officials and the poor people of our country where there are no jobs, it appears as though the only people living on “easy street” are our Congress who don’t seem to give a darn about the rest of us! Wouldn’t it be fun to put one of them in our situation, I bet they would Bail us out fast if they had to live in the conditions they afford us, rather than bail out big business!!

If the stimulus money is not to be spent for helping the unemployed because it is for jobs, then where are the jobs? Why is there no accountability? It’s a slush fund. It won’t be used for what they are claiming it will be used for.

The one good thing about this current administration is the ire they are bringing out of the American people. It’s about time pork barrel spending is stopped. The feds need to be audited. We need to be better informed and not misinformed as the main stream media does. We need clear cut answers and no more dog and pony shows!

Oblahblah is holding the simulus money as a slush fund to help keep his comrades in power come November so they can continue to persue their sick liberal agenda. A portion of the stimulus money could be well spent supporting the unemployed.

The way to help unemployment is to create a healthy job market, the Usurper has DESTROYED JOB CREATION!

I’m no fan of Republicans but they are right on this, we-have-no-money. Oblahblah spent it all and the money would we would have had for generations to come.

If you think being beholden to the government and permanent unemployment checks is the proper way to live your life than we have lost America.

Mcconnell…. Please take all of those bush style repubs and shove it up your a@@’S….. You have got to be the most pathetic form of species ever. I wonder why you have so much hate in you, I am willing to believe that some of you treat (not taking food from them) your wives and children the same way that you have been treating the wives and children of the unemployed. You are that cold hearted and through out this ordeal, we actually forget that their are lives (your families) that depend on you and with that said, I really feel sorry for you… YOU ARE INHUMANE….

HEY OBAMA, INVITE TED NUGENT TO THE WHITEHOUSE….HE HAS A SONG HE WANTS TO PLAY FOR YOU (AK STYLE)!!!!!

Update on deaths please.

correction….”mischievous”

SOON AS ONE OF THESE ASSHO!E SENATORS GETS SHOT DEAD, THEN WATCH THEM ALL WANT TO SERVE THE PUBLIC!!!! ENOUGH OF ALL THESE SCUMBAGS, INCLUDING THAT PIECE OF SH!T THATS IN MY WHITEHOUSE! THIS UN-PATRIOTIC SACK OF SH!T CAN’T HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BUT CAN SEND ALL SORTS OF MY MONEY TO HAITIANS, TREE TOADS, PYGMY’S, AND ANY OTHER BULLSH!T COUNTRY HE HAS FAMILY TIES WITH!!! 2 MORE YEARS OF THIS KENYA BUSH BABY, HELL NO!!! OBAMA YOU GOTTA GO!!! THERE IS 2 WAYS TO LEAVE, ON YOUR FEET OR FEET FIRST!!!!!

A poster recently indicated that the repubs!!!!! won again, bcse they (Democrats) can’t get away with beating them bcse of the blockage at ALL “4 times”….I say to that poster…”news flash” the only thing the AMERICANS can say that the repubs won was a confirmation of how much of an IDIOT that they really are and why MOST AMERICANS hate them so much….It is clearly a case of mischiviuos rebellion twds the current administration and full of jealously. Who can trust these people to run to coach a tee ball team let alone the country…I say that the repubs will be washed up forever and trust US this DOES NOT make the current administration look responsible for turning their backs on the AMERICANS…..Its the “NO” party….YOU!!!!!

I meant age descrimination.

I agree with everything. Wall street now thinks unemployment aids joblessness, their just mad becuase of taxes and regulation so they are going to lash out as us. I hope Obama is not afraid of them. Oh and for Senate, both sides are to blame, do you see any of them cutting thier vacation short while people are being evicted and thrown in the streets, children and grandchildren now are going hungry. They may not be around in the future. I think it is terrible to use children and grandchildren for political gain. People now have no gas money or money to pay their car insurance, so now how do they look for work. I am not lazy I want to work, but I am also a 55 year old woman and their is job discrimination for sure.

Until the Republicans GIVE BACK all the money they BORROWED to fund the Iraq and Afghan wars, and demand payback from the banks, insurance companies, auto industry, Wall Street, they’re in no position to demand that the Democrats use stimulus money to pay for the unemployment extension. This isn’t compromise–it’s blackmail, period. Of course, the Democrats aren’t blameless either, since the first repeals of Depression-era controls (Grahamn-Leachy bill) on Wall Street occurred during Clinton’s administration and he didn’t veto it. How far does Congress think they can push America before it fights back? Apparently pretty far, because NO ONE STOPPED THEM when Congress took off for their 10-day holiday on July 2nd.

A correction to Nevada candidate’s name: It’s Sharron Angle. Was Sharkle a Freudian slip, perhaps? She behaves like a shark–a full-blown predator.

Since our corrupt Congress is using 15 million unemployed Americans as a political football, the mainstream media is either ignoring us, quoting the FAKE stats put out by the government (the unemployment rate is nearly 20%, NOT 10%) or adding to the stigma/judgment of the unemployed as ‘lazy’–(Arizona senator John Kyle and Nevada candidate Sharkle (sp?) being quoted in the press)and the still-employed Americans keeping silent at our plight because they think it won’t happen to them (it WILL), is it perhaps time to recreate our rebellion against a corrupt Britain this July? Consider this a historical warning–if enough people go hungry and homeless, you will start seeing guns. Revolution is never pretty, but deliberately starving people in order to line your own pockets is criminal.

Let us all clasp hands together with the determination to show a united front to all politicians who would harm our families by holding unemployment benefits hostage. Let them know that fifteen million americans is a significant voting block, and we will remember at the ballot box.

Join with us at: unemployed-citizens-united at googlegroups dot com
Our goal is to sign up one million unemployed american citizens. Do you think that would put some fear into these ignorant politicians to know that a million people are standing as one to send a clear message? Pass the legislation, or we’ll pass on your career.

Whats that lawyerly latin thing.

Quid Pro Quo or something?

Who benefits.

And the answer would be any company that will be charging late fees.

Companys political types love having in their stock portfolios.

This is all win win for them.

If we are late on the bills they make money.

If we lose houses we have been in for over 15 years they resell at a profit.

It isn’t a Republican or Democrat thing at all. Its all about further raping the American workers.

Stop eating the cake.
