Coming up on 4 months whiners...this piece of crap legislation was DOA. You've had 2 years free money...no mo.

[jonnylingerie]

To the cik person...you can never win. whining and making excuses for people not working will never work out. It will affect your life moe than you could ever imagine...just ask kelly weidemer

[jonnylingerie]

Tick Tock whiners...the congress will be going on break before before you know it, and then it'll be summer, and that extended handout bill will still be in a committee. Its definitely not looking good for the ones still wanting to live on the ue dole.

[jonnylingerie]

Well congress comes back next week and you know happens then? Suicide watch will be in effect on the ue friendless board and all of the other whiney niner sites. hr 589 was doa and it will sit in that committee until the new congress comes in around oh 20 months and then it goes away for good. Have fun waiting.

@shutitjackass well I just looked and there are plenty of jobs listed. You may not be good enough for a job right now. Its always easier when there are more opportunities, but now you've got to compete a little more and it seems you're not up to it...it happens. But those excuses don't get your bills paid do they. And they are just that excuses...been hearing them for over a year now.

[shutitjackass]

careerbuilder now shows how many people applied for a job.I have yet to apply for one that hasnt had over 200 people apply.200 people applying for one job. Like I already said I guess you cant read to boot.

you are correct that the governement and rich that sent all the Jobs over seas, have hung us out to dry and will do nothing to deal with the problem.

5-1=4 when you get done running your mouth thats still reallity.Is your position that these numbers arent real?

[jonnylingerie]

Those are your figures and they have been played out. When careerbuilder and monster.com say they have no more job listings then you can say there are no more jobs. You like excuses, its convenient and you think its going to help you get another handout...well its not. No the question is are you that stupid to keep thinking the govt is going to give you another handout so you don;t have to do anything to take care of your own damn self? I don't care what happens to u, fix ur own problems.

[shutitjackass]

Jonny are you really that stupid you dont understand there are not enough jobs for the people that are unemloyed.Ill make it simple for you 5-1=4

you are correct that the governement and rich that sent all the Jobs over seas, have hung us out to dry and will do nothing to deal with the problem.BTW it is happening! there is no gonna happen ! In the past 2 years there are 2 million more ,homeless children. one million people lost thier homes last year and another one million will this year.

[jonnylingerie]

@shutitjackass Thats the excuse the deadbeats have been using for a year now. Has there been any serious vote on giving you more handouts past 99 weeks? I think not. You people are not to be believed anymore. Eventually you whiners will wise up...if not, you know whats going to happen to you.

[shutitjackass]

what part of 5 unemployed to 1 job dont people understand?
