I hear you Highlander, I’m a 50 yr old master electrician, they just laugh when you apply for anything but a technical job - then they would rather have a youngster.

Since Obama took office I lost a job, got a job, laid off from that job, then another company came to me begging me to come work for them, then job #2 rehired me from the layoff before things were set w/ new company, the “begging company” then dangles big money in front of me, I snatch it - then they lay me off THREE WEEKS later, kinda. Nothing official just, can you make it on 8 hours wages a week? How about 2?

Of course I’m going to file for those missing hours - that the government has already collected from employers.

Beck doesn’t know what he is talking about in this DEPRESSION.

My experience is much like yours.

Beck doesn’t know what he is talking about in this DEPRESSION

If I hadn't experienced it personally, I probably would have agreed with him. It would have been true in the past...but the liberals have really exceeded all expectations in crashing this economy.

Anyone with Beck’s attitude clearly has no idea what’s going on. I mean none. And there’s no excuse for ignorance now. There’s plenty of news and real people online explaining how this is a severe depression in the job market.
