I was "offered" a early retirement in July. However, I'm too young to get a pension check. Therefore, I get nothing!

All of you can rot in hell
Those companies don't really deserve to pay you to not work for them anymore, and the stuff you paid in isn't meant to be indefinitely extended like it is and like you want it to be.
I run a website, Secrets I Never Told, where people anonymously submit their secrets. The day the senate denied the unemployment extension, secrets poured in from across the country.
Maybe I was ignorant or blindfolded, or a combination of both, but until I read all these secrets I had NO idea how many people this really effects. If this extension doesn't get passed I'm afraid this country is going to be lead into a downwards whirlwind...quickly.
Many think its free money giving to unemployeed. but these are insurance. pricesely that. Your tax paid dollars at work. these money dont stay in persons pocket. by enabling these workers to pay for housing and food and others you are circulating the money that others who are in need down the chain. so that the funds are transfered indirectly to system. GOPs are historically known for not supporting the these insurance. so I am not surprised. but its the war caused recession. just like WWs
I hate ignorant fucks who actually think we all get a full 99 weeks.They think the vote to extend unemployment is a vote to make it longer than 99 weeks.It is not you dumb ass republicans.It is a vote to extend the filing deadline to qualify to collect from certain "teirs" in the extended UI bill.Fags.
As a fully employed liberal I am so glad the GOP is letting unemployment run out. Now all you idiot unemployed repubes will lose your homes and families! I'll be enjoying this immensely! God less the GOP! Suckers
We don't want to go back to work; we just want our 99 weeks of free checks extended. We also, want our food stamps, ADC, WIC, Cellphones, utilities, SSI $, Medicaid, and government housing paid forevermore! Now, you Independents and Right-wingers HUSH-UP! Also, don't be complaing about paying only $19,000 per year for each illegal family because they are producing babies so you working people can have more time to work and pay our way, just like it should be! Ee-elect everybody!
I didn't loose my job it was taken from me. Could'nt say who's to blame but i know who is suffering. Funny thing is i got a raise just two weeks before. nearly 7 years on the job. by the way i could use a job if any one is looking for someone please leave a message for me. i will relocate.
like some people say "get a job", so while they are looking for work everyday,(and there are some companies that will not even consider someone who is unemployed through no fault of their own) and it takes them God knows how long to find something anything if they find it , what are they supposed to do in the mean time if they have nothing I mean nothing! coming in?
Those repubs were all born with gold and silver spoons in their mouths and could care less if we only have our thumbs to suck on!!!! Let's stop using our hard earned tax dollars to pay their salaries and see if they would vote the same way!!
@rebublicanpower hey you Republican you don't care will lets see how you fell when we hade for a nother grear depression I would wather be working then taking hands out and I haved pay into it also so don't give me likes of you I just hope you don,t fall in the same Boat!

politicians need to fuck off. all they do is argue,cuss,fuss,and pass usless bills and laws. they take breaks/vacations for more than half a year and never get nothing done. they blame each other for losing contact with the taxpayers but in reality all of them did. they stay in tax payers houses, taxpayers cars, family eat food paid by taxpayers.but when the taxpayers need help, they put us on hold and worry more about their own political careers FUCK THEM ALL. GOD BLESS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA
Here is the the problem with extending unemployment: it dose not force people to make the hard decision. For example this guy is a construction worker, he could find work in any 49 other US state and overseas. Unemployment has Cain his mind to a depress region of the US.
I'M ASKING EVERYONE TO STEP UP AND LETS MAKE SOME NOISE, REMEMBER MILLIONS OF 99ERS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES ARE HURTING AND NEED OUR HELP NOW, MOST OF THE 99ERS ARE ALREADY HOMELESS...SO LET'S ALL ASSIST OUR FELLOW AMERICANS.
"This moment is too important to sit on the sidelines."
TIER 5 NOW . COM...................TIER 5 NOW!!!............TIER V EXTENSION NOW!!!
The New Tax Extenders bill (H.R.4213) Only Covers Tier 1-4... While that's good news for millions who will benefit from knowing their unemployment will last to the end of the year, its of little condolence to the Millions of "99ers" who have exhausted their benefits.

@buddybleau Let me guess, you still have a job! Good for you! You think that we, the unemployed are getting lazy because we make a whopping $14k/yr (or less) and live such lavish lifestyles? Do you think that the 20+% nationwide collectively decided to lose their jobs so they could get on unemployment? I can't wait till you lose your job JACKASS!! For all I know you could be some punk kid living off mom and dad!!
@fury350z I just Hate it when the workers try to treat the unemployed pepole like they dont want to work and being Lazy they just dont see it the same way as we do
sorry to say this they can just kiss our asses cause give it some time they may be in the same boat then they will see it the same way as we are seeing it NO JOBS are out there!
It lowers your incentive to try. Especially with "free" healthcare around the corner and foodstamps and all sorts of other money for nothing bullshit.
Of course you are going to try to justify those programs and claim they don't have an effect on your behavior. The reason is that you really enjoy not having to work AT ALL.
I do.
I don't work. The reason I don't work is because I get free financial aid. If I didn't get financial aid I'd get a job.
@evan13579b I don't mind working, as a matter of fact, I just recently got a job. I have never and will never approve the govt handouts, especially when it invovles healthcare. As far as the "financial aid" is concerned, that's my tax dollars! But that is not enough to live off of.
@evan13579b It's very relevant. The very people bitching about how the unemployed are too "lazy" to find a job because they're getting handouts don't understand that it is not enough to live on. As far as a spouse ....n/a! And to your comment on "preparing for times without a job," never assume to know someone. :-) The money that the govt controls and "handout" to us is ours. We should not be subjected to some bureaucratic jack off telling us how much we should receive.
Did you even read what I said? It doesn't matter if its not enough to live on if you have extra money saved up or you have a spouse that works. Of course you ignore what I just said. Also there are other programs that allow one to eat for free (food stamps) and other things at the state level which pile on to make one barely have to work.
@evan13579b YOu assume everyone has enough to put away for a rainy day> What world do you live in? Do you have enough money put away? Did you read what I said? My point is VERY clear. I don't enjoy handouts! And I think I speak for a majority of unemployed when I say "It is NOT enough to live on!" You make the assumption that I want to "justify these programs and don't want to work at all." Guess what? You're WRONG! The healthcare reform is a JOKE! Nothing is free! Don't kid yourself!
You can claim whatever you want. The point is YOU SUPPORT THE HANDOUTS so you actually are trying to justify these programs obviously.
Does everyone have enough put away for a rainy day? No, but some do. I didn't claim all did. And in addition A LOT of people are married to a spouse who works leaving the "cannot live on unemployment benefits" defense completely pointless.
The fact is those people who are getting unemployment benefits are in fact living.
@evan13579b You must be illiterate! That's the only thing I can think of for you. Maybe you're 10 and just don't get it Or you're just trying to start an argument you can't win. In any case, you are the reason, why those who truly deserve the unemployment insurance, are not getting it. GET A JOB LOSER!!
People don't deserve something just because they are needy.
You've failed to argue logically. You assume people don't try to do whats in their best interest only because thats the only way you could win this argument.
Natural selection doesn't allow people to generally not do whats not in their best interest. I know you don't REALLY believe that people don't like free money, you are just lying to win an argument.
@evan13579b And Stop "assuming" everything. You don't know me or my situation! Do you even know what it's like to be unemployed? All your statements lead me to believe you're a freeloader, that you would rather not work and take the handouts! If you want to be Govt. cattle, go ahead and take the feed! I'm NOT!! Is that clear enough for you? I WILL NOT BE DEPENDANT ON GOVT HANDOUTS!! PERIOD!! Most Americans don't want to be!! We did not put ourselves into the unemployment line!!
I am a freeloader. I would rather not work unless I could get a lot of money. I might eventually get to do that.
You are making a selfish assumption and you are denying human nature. You may or may not have wanted to be unemployed. You may or may not have tried as hard as you could to get a job. No one can verify that. I am just pointing out human nature.
It doesn't matter whether or not you truly need the benefits in order to survive. Needing doesn't mean deserving. You don't deserve anything you haven't earned.
@evan13579b And Stop "assuming" everything. You don't know me or my situation! Do you even know what it's like to be unemployed?

I WOULD rather not work while getting compensated and so would you. I'm just admitting it. Anyone can work. Go and dig a ditch and fill it in again. We work to get COMPENSATION.
Having to work ZERO hours but still get paid can be more beneficial then work for more pay depending on what one could get at work. It also depends on whether one has a spouse who works or not. One could easily claim unemployment perpetually while staying home and taking care of kids while spouse works.
@evan13579b You are a domesticated govt. life form, that will die a miserable death! You are a premature govt. birth still looking for the teet of life to support your otherwise useless existence! Go to China, Korea, Russia or some other communist country and sign up for their handout program! You'll get all the support you need there loser! I hear they are currently accepting applicants....send me a postcard!
What? I said I'll take free money but I oppose the laws that give it. Otherwise politicians get to directly help all the people who would vote for them. I vote for people who oppose handouts.
I know that you are defending the actual law that allows this freeloading while I am opposing it. This is because I actually know first hand that it IS beneficial to not work. I oppose financial aid and even unemployment insurance let alone perpetual unemployment insurance. I would rather not work. Any sane person would, that is why handouts are bad. Because I don't deserve them and neither do you.
But will I take them if offered? Yes. I'm not letting only the ones bribed get money.
@evan13579b Laughable!! You are as hypocritical as religion!! I don't know why you insist on carrying on this STUPID and MINDLESS conversation, with your STUPID and MINDLESS comments.....I'm done!! Goodbye!! Have a shitty life!! I hope your "spouse" wakes up and realizes he's with a loser!! Now be gone....cattle!!
I don't have a spouse. I get financial aid for education which means I need absolutely no support from anyone to not work at all.
Financial aid is bad, but if only people who approve of it got it then people who vote for socialists get an advantage and socialists can literally buy votes.
Thats not hypocrisy. I oppose it but I will get it equally if others do.
You are ASSUMING that most americans don't want government handouts. Thats a very stupid assumption to assume that people don't do what they think is best for themselves. Getting handouts doesn't mean you are dependent on them. That is a stupid meme conservatives try to use to convince people that they don't really enjoy free money. No one is stupid enough to fall for that but plenty of people are stupid enough to think other people fall for that.
Not necessarily. I might move to a different country.
In addition while my degree is very useful, many degrees are completely worthless yet funded equally.
If financial aid was removed only people getting useful degrees would pay for college, they would work to get through it, and the price of college would drop without the free money students get.
@evan13579b You must be illiterate! That's the only thing I can think of for you. Maybe you're 10 and just don't get it Or you're just trying to start an argument you can't win. In any case, you are the reason, why those who truly deserve the unemployment insurance, are not getting it. GET A JOB LOSER!!
This is ridiculous. What extension? Does the press even research or confirm any of the information it receives? Most everyone was confused into believing that this was an actual extension of benefits for all those unemployed.
The press was wrong and the Senate and House failed to clearly illustrate the details of there so called extension. If you have exhausted tier 4, your done. It's time to get it right. It's time for tier 5,6,7 or how many more are necessary until this crisis is resolved.
Right now this minute they are speaking on unemployment extensions in the senate, on c span 2 and the republicans are blocking it, it doesn't look like they are going to approve it until (maybe") after spring break.... this doesn't look good for long term unemployed people.
Unemployment extension benefits just got cut! You Will NOT recieve ANY extension benefits after april 3rd! nothing more will be addressed until Apr 5th...Good Luck everyone...
why extend it for 15 or 30 days , do they think things are gonna get better in 15 or 30 days? job creation could take another year or more if the economy keeps improving at this slow pace.
In 2004 when my uncles job went to Mexico, I told him "hey its a global economy" In 2005 when my sister's job went to India, I told her "hey its a global economy" in 2006 when my brother's job went to Canada, I told him "hey its just a global economy" In 2007 when my father was forced out and his job went to Brazil, I said "hey tough luck" in 2009 when my job went to China, I said "Hey, its Obama's fault and I won't have it we need the Republicans back in the Congress!"
@Hometheaterdoctor Actually, we need to get rid of both parties all together. They don't give a rats ass about us. Rep, Dem, same liars different masks.
I am unemployed and as of Sunday lost my unemployment benefits. Please take a moment and contact the Senator from Kentucky, James Bunning. Below is the information for his office in Washington, DC. 316 Hart Senate Office Building
Maybe if someone that has become desperate, decided to take it upon themselves to relive the world of Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky. Something makes me think they just might see how real the problem is.
Would someone send Senator Bunning home so that the rest of us, who cannot find have jobs and NEED the unemployment, and get the unemployment extension?
Most of the people collecting unemployment are not just "sponging" off the government. These are highly unusual times. People might find jobs quicker, however there would be much social unrest with the extreme frustration and that's exactly what you try to avoid with high unemployment.
This Senator that is blocking the unemployment extension is a complete idiot. He didn't complain that Bush's tax cut for millionaires needed to be paid for.
We are becoming more socialist? Please, we have by far the smallest unemployment benefits (both in length and amount) of any of the OCED countries (developed countries).
Unemployment benefits are by far less than what you would make with a job, so people are not sponging off the government here.
And if you don't truly believe these are unusually difficult times, I don't know what to tell you.
We are becoming more socialist obviously, but having less socialism now is not a counterargument to me saying we are becoming MORE socialist.
There are other factors involved, but we used to always have much lower unemployment then the much more socialist european countries. Now we are catching up.
The tendency to entice people to not work is proportional to the size of the benefit.
Many european contries constantly have unemployment as high as the level we are freaking out about.
This country has always been a bit socialist, we have never been totally capitalistic.. things like public schools, public hospitals, libraries, highways, police departments, fire departments, Social Security, Medicare, are all socialist. You are forced to pay for them in taxes even if you don't use them.
Funny, you mention that because the EU has an unemployment rate of 9.5% vs the US rate of 9.7% (Jan 2010).
No, this country hasn't been socialistic really since the 20th century. It started out very economically conservative.
Yes, we are currently higher then them because we are pursuing their policies however there is a lot of fluctuation and there is an actual recession but historically we are way below them probably not in the future. As you mentioned in your other post they have other safety nets that allow them to not work or even seek employment.
Socialism is really redistribution of wealth. The government is to provide things that are necessary, that is not socialistic.
We do not need public hospitals, schools, or libraries.
Police, and fire is important to do but they don't necessarily do their jobs efficiently. The highways are cheap and important enough. They are also easy to make.
Social Security and Medicare are terminally retarded. Defend them at your peril.
OK dude, you've been drinking the Ron Paul kool-aid way too much.
We don't need public schools, hospitals, libraries??? Why don't we just have the private sector protect our water, food supply, and clean our air while we're at it.
I think you're way far to the right of most American opinion.
You're nuts, the private sector has shown increasingly that it is only concerned with short-time profits and is unable to solve the complex long-term problems that our country faces. CEOs don't care about problems that our going to outlast their lives or stay in the company.
Abolition of public schools?!? Again, stay away from the Ron Paul Kool-Aid!
I believe the private sector is good at solving short-term problems, but it is inadequate for the problems we face now.
You are an idiot. The people in our government think about nothing but getting kickbacks. You think they care about our countries unsustainable trajectory? Is that why they keep spending more and more every year "For the children!"?
People who own companies really do care about their companies. I don't know, necessarily about CEO'S, but they do have a reputation to uphold.
Ya, I think the private sector could do better.
The government's answer is to usually reward failure.
I think we should let private sector handle everything. I'm sure they really care about increasing socio-economic mobility, preserving our environment, educating those that cannot afford private schools, creating good paying jobs.
I think we should have a Wal-Mart political party!
Oh yes, we have nut jobs like Bernie Sanders that just acts like he's angry about everything in front of a camera and thinks Bank of America is the root of all evil in the universe.
Yes, they were voting Republican even before they become a state. They were worried that the liberal Jefferson was going to take away their muskets and canons.

Those companies don't really deserve to pay you to not work for them anymore, and the stuff you paid in isn't meant to be indefinitely extended like it is and like you want it to be.

I run a website, Secrets I Never Told, where people anonymously submit their secrets. The day the senate denied the unemployment extension, secrets poured in from across the country.
Maybe I was ignorant or blindfolded, or a combination of both, but until I read all these secrets I had NO idea how many people this really effects. If this extension doesn't get passed I'm afraid this country is going to be lead into a downwards whirlwind...quickly.

Many think its free money giving to unemployeed. but these are insurance. pricesely that. Your tax paid dollars at work. these money dont stay in persons pocket. by enabling these workers to pay for housing and food and others you are circulating the money that others who are in need down the chain. so that the funds are transfered indirectly to system. GOPs are historically known for not supporting the these insurance. so I am not surprised. but its the war caused recession. just like WWs

However, I don't diss you or anyone for taking the insurance because that would mean that only the people politicians were bribing would benefit.

We are becoming more and more socialistic by the day. Every extra bit of socialism destroys free enterprise incentives more and more.

Taking from those who can or will, and giving to those who can't or won't makes the collapse of the entire economy inevitable.

We are becoming more socialist? Please, we have by far the smallest unemployment benefits (both in length and amount) of any of the OCED countries (developed countries).

It's not right/wrong. IT'S OUR OPINION.
I can't believe you can't see that it's an opinion.

What a fucking moron you are.
Opinions are about what is true or not.
Of course it is an opinion. It wouldn't be called an opinion unless I thought it was true.

I think regardless, Texas is the steriotypical Red State

LocoYoFla:
Or Montana for the nutty flavor, Idaho if theres a racist+survivalist blend.
Other Southern states if for a pure accusation of racism.

Utah has a lot of physco-conservatives.
Montana isn't all that red.. They did vote for Clinton.
Texas is full of secede from the union people.

What exactly are physco-conservatives?
evan13579b 2 years ago
Conservatives that want to outlaw things like miscarriages.... No, I'm not kidding.

Physco?

LocoYoFla:
There are pyscho's on both sides. Who do you think communists would be more likely to support?
evan13579b 2 years ago
Oh yes, we have nut jobs like Bernie Sanders that just acts like he's angry about everything in front of a camera and thinks Bank of America is the root of all evil in the universe.

LocoYoFla:
Lol, Madison. Utah wasn't a state till 1896!
evan13579b 2 years ago
Yes, they were voting Republican even before they become a state. They were worried that the liberal Jefferson was going to take away their muskets and canons.
