Emergency Unemployment Benefits Expire for Millions Today

[lib2DaBone]

Today is the day. The Law Makers went on vacation (again) and they could care less about the American people. People lose their food, electric and basic necessities...

Nanci Pelosi said they stripped all the Cobra and Health Care out of the extention, meanwhile.. CONgress approved $66 Billion to train the Afghan Police Force.

Well, some hyperbole utilized there..but you get the picture, no?

4. I know one of them. This is sick.

The dad has been looking for work for over a year now. He's middle-aged, has some health problems, and has a family--no one wants to hire him when they can get someone younger for cheaper. He's very good at what he does, and it's getting harder for him to keep applying and interviewing only to be told no.

These people need to remember whom they work for--not the frickin' companies!

5. Friday.. the US Governemnt will release their latest Unemployment numbers..

..They may be able to count the Census workers (for a third time), which will pump up their suspect numbers.

However.. they will not be able to hide the millions of fishermen, restaurant owners and hotel workers from the Gulf Region who are belly-up.

Also, as our good friends in the Senate went on Vacation, there are MILLIONS of workers who can not find a job and have quit looking.

Late July.. Early August.. look for the economy to come to a grinding halt and seize up. . Then, in November, look for Mr. Obama's Fiscal Responsibility Team to do away with Social Secutiy and Medicare, in order to "Solve the problem".

Get ready.. it's on the way.....coming soon to your neighborhood..
