This women owns two houses that she doesn't even live in. boo-fucking-hoo. I don't feel sorry for her at all. What about the people who are HOMELESS yet this lady owns a house that is "empty" according to her. Whatever.

This is why I support Obama and his immediate Federalized welfare dependency plan designed to support the mass unemployed US population.

Without rollout of the President's new 50k wealth redistribution tax initiative, the haves get more and the mass unemployable population winds up with less than ever before.

I agree with Obama in pushing for new tax mandates on anyone who earns $50k or more in gross pre-tax income, it seems like the only way to decrease our nation's growing 3rd world poverty...

I have news for you! even if you are looking for work in something you think is beneath you, you still better come across that you are enthusiastic and really want the work. Employers really pick up the luke-warm attitude.

Unemployment is a serious issue today. The causes won't be changed overnight. Recently, after being unemployed for over five months myself I developed a system to basically pull myself up by my bootstraps to address the new realities and give you an edge in job hunting. I'm offering the book for free if you would like to check it out. It's titled "GET A GREAT JOB FAST!" and you can get it through my website link on my channel (where I also have a movie to describe the book. Good luck.

@PamelaRP sorry to hear that. I am unemployed as well. I am considering the military. If you are younger than 42, you could that too. Its something.

I cannot remain optimistic here in Portland any more things are so bad. The REAL unemployment rate here is 55% or more. I have been lied to about work and sent on interviews to non-existant jobs. I have a 5 year degree in Accounting and do not do drugs or booze. I have had my resume re-written and can get nothing. I have to use a walker due to a car wreck that was not my falt and can't get SS after 13 years of fighting it and lost for the 5th time. Things are bad and cannot be happy anymore.

What do you expect? You take pride in being called a "US Consumer." Well, where are the producers?! If you are all consumers, then there is no way to support real jobs that produce things of value. Look, as long as you take pride in being a "consumer" there will be no decent jobs.

This spanish lady is hooooooottttttt I want to bang her

[alangentrinapestegui]

yeah this woman is stupid and I also don't feel sorry for her. wtf is she doing owning 2 houses and she doesn't even live in them? so many homeless people and this idiot with 2 houses not in use.

p.s. it's true, education doesn't always mean you'll get a job. college is 50% beneficial and 50% useless. I know a lot of people who never spent one hour in college and they have 30K jobs. Then I know people who graduated from college and don't even have a 1K job.

If even more jobs move offshore and the economy gets worse you need to look on the bright side, you can still sleep in your import car.
