99 weeks of free money on unemployment is totally ridiculous,its nothing but another form of welfare.What incentive does someone have to find work if they will get paid to do NOTHING for two years? I can't wait until this idiot Obama is ousted from office. | ||

It was the Clinton administration that sent US jobs overseas and down south to Mexico. | ||

Those tea baggers....it is unemployment INSURANCE which we all pay premiums for when we work. I am collecting unemployment for the first time in my 52 years...and receiving the benefits of which I PAID FOR for the last 38 years working. The real issue is the balance of wealth in this country....when 2% of the country owns 95% of the wealth, something is wrong. We are the wealthiest and most productive nation this planet has ever seen and it is morally reprehensible that there seems to be no money for schools, health care, education, energy research, the environment. It seems that there is only money to pay financiers vast sums to live in riches. | ||

Anyone who thinks that folks are getting rich off of unemployment, has another thing coming. I'm sure folks STILL can't come close to paying their bills. And the want to WORK. It is NOT welfare. | ||

This is true, I check it out on snopes. In case you haven't figured out what's happening, here's a wrap-up of the program: WAYNE ALLYN ROOT Overwhelm the system Barrack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward &Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it. -- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression? -- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kickback hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around." -- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government. -- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security. -- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means. -- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system. Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan. | ||

Obama didn't dig this hole we are in.Although the Clinton administration handed Bush the "golden goose" that being low unemployment and a balanced budget,we were still sold out by the Clinton administration and the republican congress(remember Gingrich and Dole),by that NAFTA law.But I haven't seen not one politician ,democrat or republican.who has attempted to repeal it,which could have been done.I have never understood why a working person would vote republican when they give the rich tax breaks and so much for the "trickle down effect"which began in the Reagan administration.Bush was a neer do well rich boy who didn't have a clue about what working people do.That "trickle down"theory is nothing but them pissing on your leg and it trickling down. | ||

when you work for over 30 years and then your company lets you go. fucking you out of all your benefits and such. two years on unemployment isn't that much at all. we pay into it anyways. our government is the worst government on earth anyways. period. they are more worried about, oil spills border relations etc, than the fact that many americans are jobless and damn near homeless. like myself. i am going from a near 20 an hour job to whatever i can find. if i am lucky enough to get another job it will be like 12 an hour. 20 to 12 is a huge backstep for me. | ||

Fear, fear, fear. Where did all the money go? It all goes to the very rich, that's where. Fiery Angel, do you really think that the 2%of the country which OWNS the country will let the nation convert to marxism, or socialism? I mean, really?! WE live in a corporate facist country at this point. Democrats and Republicans are essentially the same, albeit with minor ideological differences. Obama, Bush, Clinton, whoever....follow the money. | ||

Wife is 27 weeks into milking the government teat. I'm rooting for her to go all the way to 99. |
