Thank you, Sequester! Just Had $316 A Month Cut From My Unemployment Benefits

[stopbush]

Isn't that special?

I hope the money coming out of my family's mouths helps to keep paying our Congress people THEIR full salaries for doing the people's work. You know, like voting for the 37th time to eliminate Obamacare.

We'd tighten our belts some more, but we ate our belts for dinner last night. Tastes like chicken!

2. Call your Congressman and tell him or her exactly what you said in the text.

It is their god damed job to fix the economy, well, isn't it about time they did it?. Ask they why they waste their time on frivilious crap like the 37 votes. If you're pissed off let them know - call, write, send E-Mails.

6. This is them "fixing" the economy.

3. yup

this note goes out to all...

"The Federal Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25) requires across-the-board budget cuts to many federal programs, including the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program. These reductions are generally known as federal “sequestration” budget cuts. This means that all payments of federal EUC for weeks that begin on or after March 31, 2013, must be reduced by 10.7 percent for weeks of EUC unemployment..."

10. In CA, the reduction is 17.69%, not 10.7%.

That's close to 20%...which is getting close to 25%...which is the equivalent of them eliminating one week of benefits per month.

I hate those fucking rat bastard Rs!

4. Wow--- that is a large amount.

It could buy a lot of groceries. Do they expect people to starve?

Damn Congress to hell.

8. To paraphrase Goldfinger...

No, Mr. American, I expect you to die.

5. Sorry to say-

It is just beginning to show in real peoples lives, I can't properly express my disdain for the perpetrators of this crap , As time goes on we will see more and more cuts that cripple the already crippled even further
