Just wanted to point out that the unemployment benefits extension doesn't give the 99ers another 13 months. The 99ers are still done after 99 weeks. This new bill just covers those behind the 99ers who are about to lose benefits.
I won't denigrate these people. I will say that people who can't find work for two years should perhaps move to where the opportunities are. My family was forced to do this in the late 1970s. Lots of families did. America has always been a mobile society, and some places with high unemployment just aren't ever coming back. I realize that people in places like Wheeling, WV and Flint, MI love their towns and want to remain in a familiar place, but these are places with no economic future. At least in our lifetimes.

Welfare can be destructive..yes a person may take home less, but now a job "pays" the next difference between net paycheck less welfare...so the amount one makes per hour just ain't worth working for (for some). The shame is that government policies put people out of work and then they go on welfare from the same government...so the net effect is a destruction of our people through government policies.
Plenty of people on welfare still work, but not in jobs where their wages would be reported.
Cleaning houses, construction, auto repair - anything that can generate untraceable cash.
Don't we have the right to get want we want, when we want it and to never be disappointed or inconvenienced?
FCB, we certainly have the right to try.
shut the fuck up you little douche
