I too have been unemployed for a year and a half. The jobs are few and far between. I say all the unemployed people including myself, pitch a tent at the White House!!

The good news is that Glenn Beck has called the 99er movement socialist and anti capitalist; as well as other things. Why is this good? Because it means that the Republicans are getting worried about the growing power of the movement and its effect on the November elections. He used the term “anti capitalist” which translates from Republican Speak into anti Republican and there he is right. The more they fight the more we must push back until all of those Nationalist Socialists are out of power forever.

For all the asinine people who think people in my shoes are “miling” unemployment, heres my short story and time frame. I was making 35k a year and lost my job in Feb of 2008. Since then unemployment has given me 350 a week, which is by far less than half. 350 a week BEFORE taxes people. I have applied to damn near every business in my area, and even outside my area, SEVERAL times to the point I know I am annoying some people with my constant applications and phone calls checking on the status of my application. My son will be 3 in November, and I cannot afford to pay my attorney any more money to continue fighting for custody rights so that I may at least spend time with my own son. His mother comes from a VERY wealthy family, and they have all laughed in my face saying I will not see my son simply because I cannot afford to pay my attorney $300 an hour to fight for me. Put yourself in my shoes all you parents, how would you feel? Do any of you have any idea whats its like to knwo that if i had more money I could see my son, other than that I cannot because SOMEHOW his mother was allowed to leave the state he was born in and take him even further form me. My cell phone has been disconnected due to lack of payment, and because his mother is very immature, I cannot get a hold of my son even via telephone to hear his voice. Like I said, put yourself in my shoes. No I wont be back on here to read any comments you worthless losers who can obviously afford to blog all day sitting on yer parents wallet, so keep them to yourself, and just THINK, what would you do?

Are you about to lose your home and/or vehicle km?? Why in the world would you urge anyone NOT to pass the Tier 5 extension? I do understand that some people “milk” the gov for whatever they can, but that does not mean everyone does this! I have accepted less, much less, and I have a degree. The problem now is I cannot find ANY work, whether I’m over qualified or not is not the point, the point is that our economy is in serious trouble! Also, becoming a “99er” does not equal being on welfare! Have you ever been on welfare km? Trust me, it’s not fun, nor easy to prove how broke you are! I do agree that welfare is not what keeps our country moving, but neither is cutting of the thousands and thousands of hard workers just because of a certain amount of weeks! Everyone has their own opinion, but what helps is PROGRESS, and without help in times of need, we will not see progress!!

God can’t help out in these hard times. If they was a god we would not be in this mess.

I dont even know what to say anymore. I have already lost my place to live. I am crying and my heart goes out to the familys that are now visiting the loved ones in the hospitol because of the stress of loosing everything. I have already lost everything with no money for 3 weeks now. My license was expired until a friend helped me get it back. I still am without my pharm tech cert because i dont have money to renew. I have not had my own place to live in for 6 years and was living in basements. Still i worked even though i had nothing. Paying taxes with no health insurance or dental because i couldnt afford it. I as well as everyone else am paying taxes on my unemployment. And still i have nothing but continued to work and pay taxes until my job was illimanated. I worked with special needs people and worked with high behavior individuals. They lived better then i did and as much as it bothered me that they had all health insurance, a nice place to live, good food and free meds I had to remember it was not thier fault. I was expected to go out in severe weather to pick them up and was told that if i didnt i would be let go. What has this country come to. Because of the economy it didnt even matter what conditions you have to work in, suck it up and live with it. I have no food and or health insurance but because i never had much im just getting on as i always have. Worked and had nothing and now not working and have less then nothing. We need not only tier 5 but also we need to start screaming for affordable housing and everything else that goes along with it. I would gladly set up a tent with anyone living in the woods. Im thinking congress does not care. As my friend says “GOD DOES NOT SLEEP” Take care everyone and know my heart is with you.
