uniqueness, you are right, this number is not right. By the time you factor in people who have “settled” for a part time job, or have given up all together, and the people who’s befefits have run out…. the number would be alot HIGHER
I seriously think that if they would keep a closer track on these people that recieve unemployment then the rate would not be so high. If they make no effort to get a job they should loose their benefits, don’t keep reinststaing them. They getting paid to sit at home on their butt and do nothing while the rest of us work to make a living. Its not fair to those that have paid in to the unemployment and SS adminastration. By time we have the opportunity to use there will be none cause of this!
The Bum convinced all you people the Stimulus Bill would work… now look! Billions spent, and the unemployment rate is at a 30 year high.
Now we face the same bull-excerement decision. Lets spend Billions on a health care plan that was hastily put together behind closed doors.
I have always heard that the “general public” arent the brightest bulbs on the X-Mas Tree, And the Chineese say Americans are DUMB… I try to stay optimistic, but it is getting hard. Please wake up America
Well Well Well, how ‘bout that Stimulus Plan! The Bum (O-bum-a, for those who dont know) said unemployment “wouldn’t surpass 8%“ Fact Check: Last time I checked, 10.2 > 8.0
Wonder how many people I just lost…
