To those that think the unemployed are sitting on their hands and collecting checks I say this: Fire up your resume and start applying for jobs that you are qualified for (if you can find any). Wait and see how many interviews you receive and report back. There are very few jobs and it is very competitive. |

Wait and see how many interviews you receive and report back. There are very few jobs and it is very competitive. At one time he was partly correct. Some years ago when it was much easier to find a job, I knew a few guys that collected for the first five of six possible months before looking for a job. They always found one too. Today, it can take a year or more to find a decent job. |

"Lew Hodgett" wrote in message ... http://tinyurl.com/ydmnvr8 Obviously the voice of inexperience. Lew Did you actually read the link? What's with the "shorts in a knot" without actual comprehension of the spoken word? If I may quote "I'm sure most of them would like work and probably have tried to seek it, but you can't argue that it's a job enhancer. If anything, as I said, it's a disincentive." Are you claiming that many (human nature) wouldn't nearly exhaust unemployment benefits before actively looking for work especially if they have to settle for a serious career or wage downsize? Now arguing that Gov. should borrow even more money to help the unemployed is a valid argument or maybe adopting the current Republican line that all new spending including unemployment extensions need to be a "pay as you go" (either new taxes or cuts elsewhere) has a decent ring as well...... But taking offence at some Senator stating the obvious is simply huffington minion mindless blather. Rod |

EVERYBODY GOT A TAX CUT! What is it about percentage math don't you libs understand? Yeah, somebody making $150k and getting a 10% tax cut will get more absolute dollars, but he still only gets the same percentage cut as somebody making half that. The other fact, as demonstrated in the negative by the current administration, is that tax cuts actually raise revenue and help the economy recover from bad times because it frees up the ability of people to invest which then creates jobs that in turn fuel more taxable income. This has been demonstrated time and time again -- there is an initial drop in revenue, then revenue starts coming back at a larger amount than before as the economy grows. George W Bush told Congress what he wanted, Bunning delivered his vote. Wonder why he all of a sudden he is getting fiscal religion? Why were the other party so dead set against using stimulus funds instead of new borrowing to pay for this? You don't suppose it might have been that this would provide more money to buy desperately needed votes for the coming election cycle while leaving the "stimulus" payoff money available for even more vote purchasing? Why couldn't they take a paltry few billion out of the $500B that hasn't yet been spent? Just curious. No you're not, you are just regurgitating the talking points for those who are pushing a command economy. Lew -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

People like the senator will also tell you that it's the unemployeds own fault they're unemployed. shelly. |
