While there have been signs the recession is easing, unemployment is getting worse. The Labor Department reported its at a 26-year high. Anthony Mason reports.
Businesses do not care about the workers. MSI did not care about me and 188 of us and laid us off and provided no job services for us at all. It was a call center and moved to another area for lower wages. I have given up and the real unemployment rate in Oregon really is 35%-55% and if you are disabled it is over 350%. All of us did not qualify for Trade Act benefits with the Worksource department due to a technicality and all of us had no where to go for work. Call center work is dead here.
Obama promised no more earmarks... and the $800 billion stimulus package turned out to be a giant pork package. Which has done nothing to stimulate the economy, but progressives will argue it would be much worse if we didn't have the stimulus.
No... this recession would already be over if we had cut taxes and stopped borrowing.

I already pawned my bible to buy a can of beans. Do fret... they are magic beans.
Under Obama and Bush special interest groups get the pork, we get the beans.
