Unemployment Benefits Are About To Expire For 4 Million Americans

You may have heard before about how there was a coming wave of unemployed Americans who would all lose their extended unemployment benefits en masse.

Well, it's finally happening, as shown by Monday's personal income data for September, which fell 0.1% rather than rose. Much more is to come.

Free Exchange:



Optimists will say that waves of unemployed will be now forced to become less picky about jobs and simply earn an income, which will bring down unemployment:



Skeptics will say however that the unemployed haven't been too picky, and that there just aren't enough jobs, even low paying ones, to absorb them:



American austerity begins.

nevermind.

This is what you wanted America, right? It certainly is what you dumb fuckers voted for last night.

clinics to get your drug test before you get benefits.

Just ask Rand Paul.

just Rand Paul in drag? You be the judge.

although, I like the idea of there actually being only 1 of them playing multiple roles!

You reap what you sow... that's how it goes...

I just learned that on the jobs/career website of a leading university, the majority of job listings are for entry level jobs at Starbucks, McDonald's, etc. So that's what today's grads have to look forward to. Astounding. But I'm sure the RW extremists have a plan.

How many of those politicians have ever,would ever work at such a place longer then a day or two. They do not understand many of these job seekers were making a half way decent living, enough to pay for the car payment,rent,utilities,food etc and to see what jobs are out there which won't even one of the major monthly bills is not an insult--it's insanity. It's unrealistic to expect a wage earner,supporting a wife, kids or maybe elderly parents to get a job that won't even allow you full time work,never the less at a livable wage. Benefits is not even in the picture these days. I don't see those politicians taking a cut or being forced into helping out with cleaning the floors and toilets in the Capitol Building!

Mickey Dees is always hiring. Get a jawb, ya bum.

{sarcasm}

Today the unemploymnt people called to say that the end is near.
They were responding to an email I sent 2 months ago.
Apparently they are short staffed!
Maybe I should by a van... my car is too small to sleep in.
So if I should disappear from here, you'll know where I am.
Any body got some spare refrigerator boxes?

Everybody suddenly finding themselves without a damn place to turn should be considered ripe for the truth about left and right.

Painful as it is, this is exactly what it might take to revive the American left - IF we actually seize the opportunity.

Somehow we'll fuck it up, and the people who most need support will be out there railing against socialism and big government. We're schmucks, and they're fools. Is it any wonder the Chinese have built the fastest supercomputer, and we'll never see first again in these sorts of categories.

LET THE NEW BLAME GAMES BEGIN!!!!
