Senator ExLax is making a lot of people reach for the Dramamine and Pepto Bismol.
The same DNC Clymers who advocate robbing state unemployment insurance funds for "family leave" now want to extend unemployment benefits for another 6 months. Good grief, where does it all end? People who are still unemployed after 15 months are either not looking hard enough, are doing all the wrong things to look for a job (e.g., mailing 500 resumes to HR departments , not networking to get leads, etc.) or are waiting until the "perfect" job lands in their lap. (ain't gonna happen)
An acquaintence of mine (very bright engineer) managed to milk the unemployment system for THREE YEARS, taking sporadic temporary work to keep her benefits rolling. She only got serious about finding a real job after her unemployment ran out for the last time. She found a job within 2 months. During the three years of "job searching" she was sleeping in until 10 am every day (I was leaving for work at 5:00 am every day, putting in 8-10 hour days like most professionals). She eventually degenerated to reading the daily want ads and tossing them aside. It was pathetic--and a miracle that she actually found a decent job after all of that.
Oh, my. I guess we'll get the pelosi-da$$hole one-two punch !...
