Same thing in uk, fellow atser.

Scum always get into positions of power, organising how to ruin a persons life.

I aint jobless but i might as well be!! For the most part of this year most of the staff at my work place has had a pay cut in some form, for the last 6 months I have had to take a 30% plus pay cut.

I see the post office and council workers moaning because they are offered a2.2% pay rise instead of 3% or whatever it is, and think they should quit crying.

Right on! Zenagain!

I lost my job, it went overseas. This was when W Bush was in the House. Now we have Obama and I still have no job! My unemployment ran out. Gone. Nada. So I applied, or began the proses of applying for food stamps.

For food stamps I have to prove: 1) I am a US citizen. 2) Proof of residence. 3) A letter of Termination/lay-off from my employer. 4)A letter of Termination of Unemployment benefits. 4) A letter from my land lord. 5)Copies of utilities bills. 6) Copy of phone statement. I think that is ALL!

Is this process meant to be demeaning?

I spoke to an economic professor about the Bank bail-out. He said it was a mistake and It would have been better to give each adult citizen, say $100,000. The economy would be stimulated bottom to top, not vice versa.

So, yes I am angry and frustrated. And I am beginning to think, after looking at all these alternative news sites, telling people not to get the vax, I might be on a hiring black list......

I say we do the unthinkable and just quit working. All of us. I cant be assed with this # anymore.

I've given up. I've been out of work for months as a direct result of the housing debacle and the big Wall Street companies crashing ( I am not in the market, just a symbiotic relationship my skillset had with them) and until the leaders get their heads out of their collective asses and when the morons in this country vote on substance and not fluff...screw it. I have alot of college and have done everything from scraping trash bins at landfills to assisting billionaires who literally print the money, so poverty is nothing new for me. Their is no coming back from this I am afraid, they have destroyed the middle class just like Argentina and the old America is no more.

So until then, I hunt my food, brew my wine and work the odd jobs the socialists will allow me to have without a permit.
