Unemployment Benefits End

[arce1988]

can't stop what's coming

unemployment benefit is BULLSHIT


people should be able to provide for themselves or perrish

tell that to the uk population where a good amount of full time working ppl needs tax benefits and monthly govt top ups to survive.

[oldtimer1]

Why don't we just cut the bull shit and call an extension of unemployment welfare. It's already to long while the Democrats grandstand to their voting constituents that they want an extension. The Republicans are the thing in place that is trying to stop the out of control spending. You can't spend money you don't have. If you want a socialist government tax every worker 50% and then give to the slackers of society since they are controlling who gets elected. 

[Voice of Doom]

avoid urban areas if possible.

so much wisdom from galeniko





I know many people here in CA, that work, and still get some kind of govt help





wages too low, and prices too high...


Imagine, people who work at fast food places here, spending 5 per gallon of cheap gas... in old shit cars... barely break even after they get paid... so they get medicaid, food stamps, etc

[syntaxmachine]

not familiar with this expression, is it perhaps akin to "working under the towel"?

People working under the table aren't necessarily working under the towel, although they certainly may be.

I think a lot of people do want to work,( not ALL of them for sure,) who WANTS  to be a welfare bum deep down inside ? I see everyday in the public schools that young people seem to have a sense of '' hopelessness", they seem to be living for today because they have serious doubts about tomorrow and what it will bring- zombie apocalypse, economic collapse, third world war .... people in the younger generation- say 15- 25 ish  - seem to have lost interest in voting or getting involved in their communities to make a difference.

In my opinion the media is to blame for a lot of the BS that occurs in our great country, I think JFK had it right when he said " Ask not ....  but what can YOU do...."

Very simple...move.  California, thousands trying to live the dream grinding it in an overpriced overcrowded place, a few doing well.  What an unrealistic tv presents California to be.  No wonder so many try hards move their and maybe 10 a year breakout in acting or music.

still think Obama has the USA doing great?

Read up. It was the Republican's who refused to extend extended unemployment benefits. Not that I disagree with this. Obama is pushing for the extension. At some point, unemployment becomes a lifestyle. Personally, I think 6 months of unemployment should be ample time to find some kind of employment. At the height of the recession/depression/economic downturn when unemployment rates were higher then 9% in many parts of the country benefits were extended out to 96 weeks....almost 2 years. The norm is 26 weeks since the onset of these benefits, which was in 1932.

But gal, that is partly because uk policies hit the working poor the hardest. Idiots here talk about increasing gas tax which means poor ppl can't afford to drive to work, and sales tax , which hits poor ppl much harder than income tax does.. And hurts the poor much more than the rich. In the uk even middle class "need" benefits because the cost of living is so expensive and the uk taxes ppl so much

Also the uk has nearly ten percent of employed ppl working for the government so they create no wealth

I am from the uk and live in California so all the time I listen to well meaning idiots talking about how the us should copy uk bad politics that just hurt poor working people, but reward lazy scum welfare breeders.

and then they get called lazy etc etc.

parasites,etc.

i have read a book of one of the former top worlds hedge funds managers, florian homm, everybody should.

this is the top of the top ecoomic and money elite.

you will not be suprised that if he werent that, hed be a very very crimial man.

hes absoutely insane, but doesnt realize.he thinks later on he turned normal, but that was still insane.as i socio and psychopath.

kinda poor liar, though.

his views on the economy, i couldnt belive it, those at the top, they dont look down at us, they think were not worthy to be loked at in any way.

the system is rigged like hell, his own words, the us goverment and currency becoming a joke,as transparent and goofy like the enron bookwork.

he says its rigged and theres groups and clubs trying to hold together, but if they sleep for too long,they get roled over by up and coming ruthless newcomers.

lol when i see how "Middle class" ppl talk about stock investments, haha, i perspective to his views and how everything runs, its really so sad that its hillarious again.

theres also very good reasons and examples listed as to why exactly ppl in govt positions so desperately hold on to their position.

and to ppl who think rothschilds own the central banks, seriously, read a book, its much worse than if that family would realy run things.

and here were talking about breadrumbs, unemployement benefits, haha, its more important to inform oneself why and how unemployment happens, rather than engaging in populist trash talk like an utter trailer trash idiot.

if ppl seriously think the unemployed are the root of the problem,i dont know what to say.

ever heard of the terms greenmailing?read, and then go from there.

Oh please... Republicans and Democrats are two heads on the same body.

This left/right paradigm has you very angry and confused... and it's meant to be that way.  Ever heard of "divide and conquer"?

Anyone who still subscribes to republican/democrat, left/right, conservative/liberal bullshit needs to wake the fuck up.  The entire political system is phony.  These scumbags are appointed, not elected.  They need to have it like this to make you think you actually have a choice... you don't.

Don't let them on to that fact. It'll distort their reality and they'll lash out to maintain and get other people to agree with their ignorance.

Granted there are times when it is hard to tell the Democrat from the Republican politicians. But when it comes to the general public, there are extreme liberals and extreme conservatives and everything in between. More often than not people think and vote along party lines.

Politicians are no different then the people they represent. Some of them are indeed "scumbags" as you put it, but not all and not even most. And no, they are not appointed (with some exceptions like occasionally filling a vacant seat when it isn't election time or when no one runs for an office) they are elected. If you don't like who is in office vote them out. When you stand alone and the majority votes them in or back in, well, that's how democracy works.

[galeniko]

make no error, democrats and rep are different, og yes they are.

but they have the same unscrouplos goals in common.

its good that they exist, youd know this if you been in a real existant dictatorship.

complaining will do nothing.

starting new party, by default, if your ideas are better to most of the population, youll get there.

but being an extremist will be the wrong way.extremists are put off by the majority, for good reason.

youre too busy juggling fries at mcdonalds for that goal?

too much youtube?

but blaming the politicians being all the same?do it better.get started,run for local election and see how it goes.

For a foreigner, you have a better understanding of how a democracy works then do many people living in the U.S. People who, like you say do little more then complain and then complain more when things don't go their way. The scary part is that lately some extreme right groups, such as the Tea Party, have gained a following and even had folks elected to office. My God, we could have ended up with Sara Palin as Vice President or worse, President.

I am a political activist. I am a registered Democrat. In the last Oregon legislative sessions, some Democrats I helped get elected sold us retired folks out. We are taking them to the Oregon Supreme court to regain what was stolen from us by them. The real problem is going to be the 2015 elections when we have to decide between two evils, voting these traitors back into office or taking a chance on a unknown candidate. It often feels like we don't have much in the way of choice here even though we are so much better off then a lot of other places around the world.

Not complaining, just stating the obvious.

Central bankers control and own this world.  They also own the military, and all law enforcement agencies/systems.  Good luck trying to fight that.  

Most sheeple are completely zombified and castrated by entertainment and tech toys... they have no idea what is going on and that they are slaves.  

The US is already almost too far gone to save it.  A revolution is the only way to change it... mostly likely a violent and bloody one.  

2014 should be a very interesting year.

Who the fuck in their right mind would vote for Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi or John Boener? -lol

95% of these people you worship are all bought and paid for.

Seriously dude, wake up.

[Mr Anabolic]

....and your solution is?

I just told you... REVOLUTION.

[Mawse]

That would have been terrible,just think - we'd have extended the patriot act indefinitely, had the government spying us, still been at war in the Middle East, got involved in several new middle eastern conflicts, continued the war on drugs and given trillions to the banks! Thank god cooler heads prevailed and we did none of that.

Lol!

[Primemuscle]

Hope you enjoy Guantanamo when you get there....revolution on a national scale, could be called treason.

[Irongrip400]

Fucking people who are without work, are unemployed because they don't want jobs, or don't want the jobs that are available. Maybe they should've tried harder as children in school, it may be too late for them now.

Go back to diddling with your iphone, facebook and tweets... much more constructive for you.
