Many unemployed people are now motivated to get back into the game

I'd like Obamalamadingdong to tell everyone where the incentive to look for work comes from when the current unemployment compensation lasts for ninety nine weeks!

Compensation doesn’t have much to do with it, there are no jobs!

“ninety nine weeks!”

Not if you started benefits on December 1 here in VA. There is a bit of a “donut hole” where the benefits end at 18 weeks.

Don’t you have to provide proof you’ve applied for jobs each week in order to continue to receive benefits?

The ratio of unemployed people to job openings is about 6.1 unemployed people for every 1 job. So stuff it.

And if you have a problem with me using extended unemployment benefits as I may need to, just consider the fact that I will probably never see the Social Security benefits I paid into for all of these years. I feel no shame when I look at it that way.

Think about that, it’s almost 2 years? Can anyone say, permanent underclass...just what these basTURDS want...
