You sound like a Democrat. The unemployment argument is the GM bailout argument, and it’s barely distinguishable from the medicine or dog food/pushing granny off a cliff argument. We’ll never cut anything at this rate.
Tell them they’ll have to take it like like the rest of us and find a new job. In most of their cases, find a job that’s actually useful for a change.
He’s telling it like it is, not to be mistaken for a Dem. There aren’t enough jobs to absorb this big of lay off if it is actually 250k in the DC/Virginia/Maryland area.
Once we look at these numbers as people, they have no where to go to support their families and keep their homes except on federal aid. A much bigger burden for the rest of us.
I can’t imagine the panic that this would cause my Husband and I if it weren’t for his military retirement as a fall back.
