Right, start a new business with nothing while I'm going bankrupt and losing my home. That sounds like it will work. Heard this one before too. Care to shine light on how a guy trying to save the money to put new water lines in before he loses his job can afford retraining, schooling in general - or - much less - STARTING A NEW BUSINESS. Do you guys think before saying this stuff. And yes, the government is responsible. The policy of the government lost me my job due to forces that would not have otherwise been there. I don't think the government owes me much more than the constitution provides; but, it does owe me more than pulling the rug out from under me when I get on my feet.

The government is responsible for you over-extending yourself to the point you can't keep afloat with unemployment compensation long enough to stop whining and start doing something?

Don't worry my friend companies have started hiring Americans again ... I'm finally back to work designing chip again after my long downtime. I know it's tough (been there) but don't listen to these braying jackass free traitors ... they will eventually have their time too.

BTW ... Intel, Texas instruments and Qualcomm are truly hiring again.

EDS gave you a raise, you said...yet you are going bankrupt *and* losing your home?!

Whoa boy. You've lost your Wal-Mart job, your EDS job (but they gave you a raise first), and now you are losing your home.

Shoot, you don't have time to be typing at your own keyboard! You should be out working two jobs and interviewing for a third one because you know that you are going to lose those two jobs, too!
