Reading and hearing about so many people in the United States who are unemployed and have exhausted all Tiers of their unemployment benefits seriously concerns me. I personally have friends who have been through 4 tiers, Extended Benefits, and Emergency Extended Unemployment benefits and who are still out of work and looking for a job.
I heard someone say that people are lazy and don’t want to work. This is utter bullshit. No one is lazy and everyone wants to work and take care of themselves, pay their house note, pay their car note, and be able to take their kids to and from school without some damn unemployment check.
Americans want to work. There is a select small number of people who may not want to but why focus on them? The majority of America is hard working people who care for themselves and their own well being. I pray that the Obama Administration can not only extend the emergency unemployment benefits but also ensure that people actually get the extension without the red tape run around that some people are getting from the Department of Labor.
God speed to us all, seriously!
