I love how people rightfully blast Obama for this horrendous economy which has seen MILLIONS of jobs lost, and then turn around to blame the unemployed for being unemployed.
I also love the simplistic solutions people offer. Move! (Who’s going to buy my house? If I could sell it, I probably wouldn’t get what we owe, since we’ve only been in it for 3 years. And we put over a third down. That’s how much our property values have dropped.)
The thing is-—it’s the government that’s caused this mess we’re in, so yeah-—I have no problem with my husband getting his unemployment check. (My husband, who, until six months ago had been continuously employed since the age of 10-—38 years. Boy, he’s a real malingerer.)
Could not agree more. I never wish people ill, but allot these people who are against benefits for the unemployed (people who WORK!) need to walk a month or so in their shoes. My guess is not a one would hold those same opinions.
It’s all too easy to be sanctimonious when you have a paycheck coming your way.
