I wasn’t implying that they were celebrating...just anticipating the next media catchphrase.
I don’t cast aspersions on the unemployed...in large part after reading what people are going through here on FR. I could very easily find myself in their shoes someday. Except as one of the self-employed, I don’t think unemployment insurance would even be an option for me.
I do hope that the Republicans hold firm on taking the extra UI time out of TARP or stimulus funds. And the death tax is an obscenity in any form.
I am troubled by others who misguidedly blame the unemployed for their situations, instead of blaming the cause. Maybe they feel the unemployed are all Obama supporters, sitting back and enjoying their free money. From the people I know who are unemployed, that's just not the case.
