Unemployment extension vote coming Tuesday

I had a similar experience also this week. I finally got a call back from one of resume. I was told by the craigslist job poster that he had posted the ad for a construction superintendent at 8:00 that morning and by 11:00 am he had over 160 resumes. Many of which were structural engineers and people with Master degrees…To say there are jobs out there is a joke. it’s not 1 job per 5 seekers. It’s more like 1 job per every 100. Where does the government get these ridicules numbers.To the Republicans and economist if you don’t believe me run an ad on craigslist for any job and you’ll see the real numbers.You guys are full of bullsh*t…Pop that bubble your in and see what Americans are really facing!

As the 99ers are left out of any more possible extensions, they will only grow in numbers. Coupled with age discrimination or the refusal to hire the long termed unemployed is happening all over this nation, as too many good hard working class citizens are being thrown to the wolves as political posturing games play out. We are not asking for welfare, we are asking to be given a life line just as the banks were to prevent any further erosion of the middle class as this government has no real jobs policy and government is responsible to create the atmosphere of gainful employment and to better the welfare of its citizens for the betterment of the country. This society has a bad case of eroding morals and ethics as we see the GOP party spew their hate for the working class. It is more than shameful, it is unconscionable!

Sueinmn, I agree completely with you. The morals and ethics of American lawmakers needs to be reevaulated, but as long as corporate chairman and boardmembers continue to have the influence over our lawmakers that they have, they will continue to look out for their interests, not ours. And as long as the American people remain ignorant to what is really happening in Washington things will not change. Americans everywhere need to do their research and wake up to the fact that America is no longer a democracy, it has become an plutocracy where corporate bailouts are perfectly fine but the unemployed are left out in the cold. God bless this wonderful country.

To whom it may concern,

I loss my job Aug 2008 with 4 kid’s and haven’t yet find a job went on numberous of job open only to find out that the position was fill or that they was just taking application. I’m tried of the federal government just talking about what they think is going on out here when they don’t have to worry about how they are going to make it throught the months. If they are going to have a home for there kid’s there not on the phone talking to the unemployment people about why haven’t you find a job yet and knowing at the some time you are going to run out of money pretty soon. That is a hard pill to swollow so those big shot that are making alot of money and don’t haven’t a worry in the world to how they are going to povide for they family. So to all the big wig that have it to talk about to something about it to help the one’s that are dieing out here.
