The stated reason that HR 589 or a Tier 5 unemployment extension could not be introduced on the House floor was that neither could be financed, just another lie in a long stream of lies. The dirty little rat bastard Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee that is refusing to hear any legislation for unemployment extensions, has introduced his own bill, HR 1745 – Jobs, Opportunity, Benefits and Services (JOBS) Act of 2011.
Apparently there is $31 billion sitting in a bank account which is unemployment money we have paid in. Camp wants to take that money and turn it over to the states to use to give more tax cuts to the corporations that downsized our jobs. This is a diversion and misappropriation of public funds. Camp should be jailed for even suggesting it, as he is funneling tax payer money to the corporate sleaze buckets that put his treasonous arse into office.
Camp is being supported by Human Resources Subcommittee Chairman Geoff Davis and Human Resources Subcommittee member Rick Berg. This group represents a pack of neo-con hyenas that want to steal more public monies to give to the filthy rich in a time when the filthy rich are making gluttonous profits while everyone else is going hungry in the cold.
That pathetic brain-dead imbecile John Boehner is coming right back into line once again. The American people have already told these gluttonous pathetic scums that they are not going to take the retirements of the old, the food from the poor, or any more of the wages of the middle class and hand it over to the rich. But then Boehner does not give a shit what the American people say as he is too stupid to realize that the people are not going to take this anymore.
What in the hell is this man doing in a position of power? He is mildly retarded at best. He thinks he can just step up and say “Duh, um, and Social Security stuff and that other welfare stuff, um like, unemployment and food stamps, just, um uh, has to be cut so that, um uh, well jobs, um uh, corporate tax cuts.”
My God people, stand back and look what we have occupying our highest seats of power. 90% of them are too frickin dumb to even tie their own shoes and they are running our country into the ground. These people have had to get into a position where they can just duh their way through their treason because they do not have the mental capacity to even run a Kool-Aid stand. In the real world they would starve to death because they are too stupid to fill out a food stamp form.
We are guaranteed a free enterprise system in the United States. This is to say that a person living on a couple of acres of land who finds him or herself unemployed, can take the last little bit of their money, buy a plow and some seeds, plant some organic vegetables, harvest them, and take them down to a vacant lot and sell them, and the money is all theirs.
Enter capitalism into the equation. Let’s call this one, free enterprise capitalism. In this case the person who owns the couple of acres cannot afford the seed. He goes across the road to his neighbor who has a little money in the bank. The neighbor lends the seed money and the person growing the crop gives him 20% of the produce, which the neighbor then takes down to the vacant lot to make a profit on his investment. His profit belongs to him and no other.
In both of the aforementioned scenarios the people have to actually do something to earn their money. The first person has to grow and sell the crop, the second person has to take his share of the produce and market it. Work for money.
We are now living in what is known as crony capitalism. In this scenario, the person who has the land that wants to grow the crop has to go to the bank that is holding his neighbor’s money. To make the loan he is forced to put up his land and his house for collateral and accept a compound interest rate at about 60%. And of course the bank will not give him the loan unless he goes to the banker’s brother-in-law over at the state house and acquires a business license. As a part of that business license the grower has to set up a small business to make sure he is being taxed 25%.
By the time the whole deal goes through, the bank ends up with about 60% of the crop, of which the grower’s neighbor, whose money it actually was that financed the deal, gets 2%. The person who did all the work to grow the crop gets 40%, of which the government takes 25% of in taxes. And of course if anything goes wrong the banks gets the entrepreneur’s home and land.
Now you wonder what the hell is wrong with this country. There it is in a nutshell. And don’t forget, as the bank is connected with all the other banks and distributers, they can always manipulate the market and make certain the grower fails and loses his or her property to them for a bag of seed.
This is how it has been in this country since 1913. The filthy rich and the bankers have taken and taken more. But now they do not even want to take the time to swindle us out of our wealth. So they pay to put some deplorable bastards like Boehner and Camp into public office to pass legislation that says we just have to hand it over to them. To hell with these sons of bitches.
This country is ripe for revolution. Let’s do it. Let’s run these carpet baggers out of our country and our lives and restore our great Republic under our Constitution which will allow our free enterprise system to work again, and thus allow we the people to prosper again.
These rat bastards know they are not fooling anybody anymore. Middle class and poor alike; we know they have taken $26 trillion from us and intend to take everything else, right down to the lint in our pockets. Get aggressive. Let these robber barons know their time is short.
Vote for Ron Paul and Jesse Ventura as they represent the elitists’ greatest nightmare.
God bless this Republic, death to the international corporate mafia, we shall prevail.
Well I guess the monsters think they can do anything they want, and that we are going to sit back and just take it, but they are wrong. John Lennon said it first “If your talking about a Revolution you can count me in.”
Henry, you’ve said it all in a nutshell. Your editorial tells it like it is and I do believe every word of it. Day after day you are consistent with incredible information that should be shared by all. Unfortunately only a few know these words and the truth. We unfortunately live with the corrupt and the blind who just take things with a grain of salt and go on with life as we the 99ers and the unemployed go unnoticed. We were and always will be the people who helped this country survive for so many years and now they put us out to pasture to die. Keep up the fight, perhaps one day we shall overcome this madness.
Good song, count me in!!!!
AMEN!!! Count me in too!!!!!
I’m ready, brothers and sisters !!
it doesnt matter if they found the funds for it or not. they dont want to help us and they are not going to help us. if they wanted to help then it would have been done by now. they print money!!! all it takes is a push of a button to print the money and fix the problems that we have. they have a new agenda for this country and we are not in it.
I agree. The problem being is we make their pay. We do the work, they make the pay. I’m with the guy above, we have the right and the responsibility to take action about a crooked gov. We need not rally with words anymore as it does no good, we need to gather with ourother rights and fire with force everyone of them cheats on capital hill. Its called a revolution and it needs to be stated as a war. We are long since over due for an over throw.
Wow…right on the dot!!!!
I’m in
They think that we are a bunch of ghost and that we are going to just fade away , but we are not ghost . And the numbers are growing everyday.
I’m in and my family .we rather die fighting than do die doing nothing and starving.
I’m not necessarily an Obama fan, however the “the extended unemployment mess” was the fault of Bush not Obama. It’s more important to some people to see Obama fail then to see this country recover from the mess Bush created.
Also this “America’s broke” nonsense is a lie. America was and is still being robbed by corporate thieves! Wake up people if you are smart enough to write in these blogs you should be smart enough to research what you’re writing about. I don’t think you’re as dumb as people are making you out to be.
Find out how can corporations get bail outs one minute then the CEO’s get record profits the next. How can the unemployment rate INCRESE at the same time people are shouting “get a job, any job”. How can 1 person (never mind a family) survive off a McDonald’s job? If you can write & read, then think before opening your mouths or writing ignorant comments.
Take time to Google sites like “From the Trenches 99ers” then don’t just read, research the information.
What happened to the America’s stolen 31 trillion dollars and why aren’t major corporations paying taxes instead of getting tax breaks!
If gas is 4 dollars a gallon, why are we subsiding oil companies? If America is so broke why are we spending money fighting wars which were really illegal occupations of other countries, they didn’t declare war on us. Remember there were NO WMD’s. Most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi’s. Bush had a surplus when he took office and we were in this jam when he left!
Glenn Bax NJ,
Whether it is Bush’s fault or Obama’s fault, it is still both of their fault equally as one started it and the other is continuing it, and one knew and the other one knows that it is wrong, in fact it is criminal, in fact it is treason.
I don’t believe I would blame Obama more than Bush as I am an American, I blame them equally because to do otherwise would be to promote that which I hold the most distasteful, and the that is the lie that is the false left-right paradigm. They all defecate through the same hole.
I agree Henry! I also would like to thank you for the information you supply. You’re always on point!
My comment was originally written in response to a comment by “William” from an article in which he stated “It is Obama that has caused the extended unemployment mess and it is directly because of his energy agenda and health bill that is the cause of the private sector to expand”.
The article was in:
The Hill,
Dems target unemployment benefits bill
By Mike Lillis – 05/11/11 10:26 AM ET
I feel many people are submitting comments without researching what their saying.
If you notice my comment in The Hill directs people to you at “From the Trenches 99ers”. I hope you don’t mind. I find this site most helpful. I push it whenever I can. I like how you speak your mind!
This is the 1st place I visit every day. Then I tweet the info you’ve supplied!
Yes. From the Trenches is also the first place I visit everyday and pass on the information to others. It’s a great site.
Well,as they say”when you have nothing you have nothing to lose’enough talk and more action!
Lets out there today and show them something!
You’ve probably already suggested something like this but how about publishing the name of Camp’s largest retail sponsor and leading a nationwide boycott of all their stores. The boycott needs to include all the 99ers, those on unemployment now( who , by the way, have been extremely unthankful for all the work the 99ers did in getting THEM their extensions) and the slimeball union members ( hello teachers ) who are constantly asking for the 99ers help and not doing a damn thing in return. Attack their contributors and you will accomplish alot more than attacking them personally.
Check out “Hometown Corporate Mafia” under “Organized Resistance.”
henry i couldnt agree with you more as that asshole dave camp used to represent my district here in central mi. He never did anything but take from the people he represented ,we have had one of the highest unemployment rates for a long time and he always voted against federal unemployment extentions, does that make any cense ? when this man got elected it made me sad because i know how he operates, and its not for the people, its for that top 2% of the people and he fits right in with there plan , take ALL ya can get !!!
WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND IS THEY HAVE MONEY TO FUND COUNTRIES OVERSEAS.LIKE THE COUNTRY THEY FOUND BIN LADEN IN .3 BILLION A YEAR FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS.BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT NEED HELP THEY HAVE ON MONEY TO FUND .MAY ITS OUR FALT WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT FOR MANEY YEARS.THEY WANT TO CUT MEDICARE,SSI BUT THEY KEEP SENDING MONEY TO OTHER COUNTRIES.ARE THE PEOPLE IN OUR GOVERMENT REALY AMERICANS.THE WAY THEY ACT AND DO THINGS YOU WONDER.KEEP CALLING YOU REPS MAKE A PEST OF YOURSELF.WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE OUR GOVERMENT ARE DOING THINGS.IF WE GET THAT EXTENTION PAST THAT WILL BE A START.REMBER THAT RAM THAT KEPT HITING THAT RUBBER TREE PLANT.WE GOT HIGH HOPES.2012 IS COMEING WE HAVE THE NUMBERS TO MAKE A DIFFENTS.PEOPLE ON SSI,MEDICARE,THE 99ERS THE NEW UNEMPLOYED WE HAVE THE NUMBERS .JUST STICK TOGETTER.ALSO CALL THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
On the Crew of 42 website it is also stating that Dave Camp’s proposed bill HR 1745, et al, will include legislation that will cut the temporary extended unemployment benefits for those who are currently receiving them. This he wants to become effective as of July 6th. I guess this is his way of saying happy 4th of July America. So not only are they denying the current unemployed/99ers any additional extentions; they are in fact, considering adding more unemployed persons to the roster who too will not find a job or have any viable income to speak of. These Republicans are crazy in the membrane. This is a sure fire way to wreck more havoc on an already bad situation. I also question why it is that wherever Rep. Barbara Lee turns and to those that she speaks with concerning passage of HR 589 they can only come up with more offensive and destructive ways to deal with this issue. Does she walk into these meetings without a game plan only to walk out without one. Evidently her negotiations skills are not on point, or she is not very astute when it comes to the art of the game. But yet she can always find her way to the cameras and mic to hold yet another press release. Here she will recount the unfortunate negative response she has received from these meetings (sigh…another letdown) and will once again assure us with a pat on the head that she intends to continue the good fight up until the very end. Yeah right! Time is not on our side Ms. Lee. Some may feel that we are not giving her her due respect and credit for trying. But my question is….for trying what? In my world BS walks while Action talks. And you never try to take advantage of a downtrotten situation to further your own personal agenda. Seriously, if her efforts should ever come to fruition then I would be one of the first to bestowe my praises her way.
31 BILLION SETTING IN THE BANK .FOR WHO? MAYBE A LITTLE FOR MR CAMP.WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH ALL THIS BULL.IT HAS TO STOP.THAT MONEY IS FOR THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA AT THEIR TIME OF NEED.NOT FOR PEOPLE LIKE MR CAMP .BY THE WAY WHO PAYS HIS SALARY.HE WORKS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE .IF HE CAN’T UNDERSTAND THAT GET HIM OUT.WE DON’T NEED PEOPLE LIKE HIM.PEOPLE LIKE HIM IS WHAT GOT US IN THIS MESS.
Hi Henry and everybody..
I think this is the first time I have left a comment for you, but I do read your blog.
I wanted to point out that the money that is to be used for this horrible bill (named the JOBS bill?) is the money that was allocated in December to allow more recently laid off people to receive up to 99 weeks of benefits. It’s not new money that is sitting unallocated.
In other words, these Republicans are telling the states that, instead of giving people up to 99 weeks of unemployment that had been promised to them in December (in exchange for tax cuts for the rich, I might add), the states can do other things with that money.
It’s disgusting. It was bad enough that the Repubs held the unemployed hostage and didn’t do anything for the people who already had reached (or were approaching) 99 weeks of unemployment, but now they want to take that money away from people who have been more recently laid off and thought they had another 10, 20, or 30 weeks of unemployment. And the unemployment situation has not substantially improved since December. That is shameful.
All of the groups of people who are being screwed by these characters need to stick together… that’s the only way the people are going to have enough influence to make any real changes.
Middle Molly,
Unemployment has not improved, not even slightly. The fact is it is getting worse.
Yes I did know the true destination of the $31 billion, I just figured it would make people mad that it existed and even madder when they found out that it is to be taken from their fellow unemployed to make sure they do not even receive 99 weeks.
You see we need to be mad, that is real mad, because we are going to have to be mad if we are going to stop this crap once and for all.
BY THE WAY TELL MR CAMP ,TO MAKE SURE HE PUTS IN A BILL THAT CUTS ALL FUNDING TO OTHER COUNTRIES.ALSO A BILL THAT CUT THE TAX BREAKS FOR BIG COMPANIES OVERSEAS.AND ALSO A BILL THAT MAKES HIM PAY ,AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM ,FOR HIS HEALTH INS.THOSE BILLS I ‘LL SIGN.
i just hope someone DOESNT take the law into his own hands against camp. please god i hope someone doesnt go off on one of these idiots. please DONT.
well folks i’ll make you a deal you can have camp an all the other goverment cruds in washington . but the crud i want dibs on is boehner after all he’s from my home state of ohio an while your at it pass me the pitchfork to stick it to boehner right where he sit’s . after all him an the govenor that he helped get elected here last november are’t worth a hill of crap to spread on a feild of crops to feed anyone with . i want the first crack at boehner because he an the other cruds have not only destryed everyones live’s here in ohio but all across the country they have destroyed so many meaning full lives . as for the bum in the white house lets all sign up for an ass whooping part on him he really needs it worse then anyone does . he can crow all he wants about bin labin all he wants too but that don’t do crap to help anyone with the issues of being unemployed for 3 years or better like myself an so many others in this fine country of our’s . i would like to pack mr. obuma up an send his stupid lieing butt back to kenya where he came from an let him lead them with all of his stupid worthless lies that he has been feeding this country for the last 3 years .thanks for letting me vent folks on here .
I can understand why congress approved the $350 billions on 2008 AND THEN AGAIN approved a second $350 billions on 2009, so that the big banks, auto industry and financial institution can have a safety net “financial bailout program” to help them along in their time of need….I can even understand the millions of dollars spent by big industry for perks to their executives, BECAUSE WE ALL BELIEVED THOSE ARE DESIGNED TO SAVE JOBS..Now I understand that’s $700 billions of tax payer’s money (working americans), I might be wrong of course….I kinda don’t understand why around 2009 to 2010 there were millions upon millions of americans that lost their jobs, after we gave the big industry 700 billions as a safety net..
NOW I really don’t understand why they think $16 billion is wwwaaayyyy to much for a safety net for MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own..didn’t we just lend $700 billions of our own tax money…Now that we lost our jobs we can’t be given a “safety net”..I think we got shafted..
I kinda understand why congress approved “The first $350 billion on October 3, 2008, and why Congress voted to approve the release of the second $300 billion on January 15, 2009” to save the big banks, financial institutions and auto industry..I can almost understand why big bussinesses gave out millions for perks to their executives..I believe, WE ALL BELIEVED, because those action was designed to save jobs..I don’t understand why, around 2009-2010, millions of people still lost their jobs, that is after $650 billions of tax payer’s money was handed over to big bussinesses….NOW they are saying $16 billions was waaayyy to much to be spent to millions of americans that lost their jobs..I don’t understand that thinking.
Its the same old thing Politics as usual , these people are there for their on gain while we starve and loose our homes cant pay our rent while the take care of big business, its very sad we put these people in office. We need to vote them out/recall their position.
CALL THE ANTI AMERICAN WORKER.
DAVE CAMPS DIRECT LINE 202-225-3561
TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL. I DID. GOD BLESS US 99ERS. ALL WE HAVE IS EACH OTHER
David Camp is just another SOB! Call him at (202) 225-3561 and tell him that his HR 1745 sucks! Tell him, better yet, order him to bring HR 589 to the floor for an overdue vote. I know that HR 589 is a joke to some, but for many of us desperate 99ers, it is a mere glimpse of hope at the end of a very long and dark tunnel. As for the good old USA, it is no longer a great nation of prosperity but a nation of greed where money is plentiful but not accessible for us average joes. You have to belong to the extreme upper class in order to tap into that source of money with ease with the help of the treasonous politicians. Like I ‘ve said, Bush got us into this pile of dung and Obama kept us in it to rot. Life continues as usual for the top 2% while the rest are suffering and yet our Government continues to look the other way. At least the Republican’ts aren’t hiding the facts that they are a bunch of arrogant assholes, on the other hand, the Dumbocrats have proven that they too are hypocritical scumbags, therefore there are no one left to rescue us. We have to help ourselves because we cannot rely on others simply because we have nothing to offer them in return. Most of us 99ers are dead broke and money equals power, so what are we to do? It is sad to see that millions of unemployed Americans are struggling to stay alive but other countries think of us all as rich American bastards. Let the 99ers become Navy Seals so that we can hunt and eliminate all the Osama Bin Ladens who have thrown us under the bus. Carry on the great work Henry by keeping us informed.
I am with all of you that want to “Walk on Washington” to support us 99ers and others willing to show their disappointment for the way the government is treating us all. I worked for 45 years paying taxes after taxes and since being unemployed in Nov. 2008, I still haven’t found steady work. My savings are about gone and the little jobs that I can find won’t even pay to keep my head above water. Let’s do it. Let’s organize the walk.
Time to give Washington DC an enimea!
a walk is not what is needed here, there have been to many walks and talks, its time to take these arms we have the right to bare and shut down corruption…they gave to the big business’ and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t help, thats the wrong end of the horse to feed. Give to the buyers and we will spend, thus, people will have to go back to work to make, deliver, stock, clean and cook the things we would spend the money on. Give us a $100,000 clean and free and watch the housing market recoop and watch the stores and restraunts hire and recover. I have been unemployed for 2 years and have tried to get help to open a company and get nothing but if I were an already existing big corperation who mis spent on bonus they would fork it out to me, spoon fed. Crooks!!!
I am also a 99er for three years now seeking employment because I do want to work, not sit around like some critisize the 99ers for not wanting to seek employment. I have worked 30 years of my life in the medical field and was a middle class person. Now I am poverty because my unemployment exhausted in November. My husband has also been laid off so we are about stressed out to the max because we have mortgage, real estate taxes, utilities, car/home insurance for our home, additionally trying to pay for gas when it is $5.00 a gallon. Trying to find a job, how can you find a job if you don’t have any gas in your car and if they are interested in hiring you have no money for gas. Do you think we are going to get hired when we tell the employer, sorry I can’t take the job but I don’t have any gas for my car. What is up with the compassion of President Obama with CBS talk show this morning, he mention how the unemployment is high but he did not mention any resolution to the unemployed especially the 99er’s that are in the millions. I think he talk more shit then doing anything for our country. We need help now ASAP before they go on their little vacation in June. What now we have to wait till winter again. Like we suffered the cold, sometime with no heat and not able to find a job. There is something wrong with this facts. He and Boener/senate/rep/congress need to get their shit together and start working together for the people of the US. Boener was crying when he got the position because he was happy that this is what he always wanted and even mentioned that he was a middle class, now his rich and don’t care about the poor anymore. He got his wish. Well we are crying to we need help instead of lame leaders who don’t give a crap about us. PLEASE PASS THE HR589 THAT BARBARA LEE AND KEVIN MARTIN HAVE INTRODUCED FOR LEGISLATION WHEN THERE IS MONEY OUT THERE TO HELP US. WE DON’T NEED TO BE TREATED LIKE CRAP. WE HAVE A RIGHT OUR CONSTUITION GIVES THE RIGHT AS AMERICAN FOR OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS RESPECT US WHEN WE VOTE THEM IN. HELL WITH VOTING I WILL NEVER VOTE AGAIN. SO WHY DO WE HAVE TO RESPECT THEM WHEN THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT US. FAMILIES ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES, GOING HUNGRY, LOSING THEIR TRANSPORTATION. THEY TALK ABOUT BUILDING THE ECONOMY THEY SURE ARE’NT DOING A GOOD JOB OF IT. AT LEAST IF WE WOULD GET SOME MONEY WE COULD CONTRIBUTE TO IT. IN THE MEANTIME THE US IS GOING TO HELL. OHIO 99ER TOLEDO.
This country is so overdue for a revolution………..let us starve these bastards and their families, they sure don’t care about my family why should I care about theres. I would love to see them squirm if a revolution comes about and I want to have a front row seat to watch their public stoning………..
I like your thought process. We all need to get mad and take action. I’m a good shot and have nothing against a war on our soil against our own crooks that are hanging us out to dry. Mark me up for the calling of revolution day, I will be there.
I am so tired of the government talking lingo that some us can’t understand it. We need that you to tell us if you are going to pass HR 589 or not. Is that so hard to do since now you recess in June. We need help now or quit bullshitting us, because we are suffering financially and we need to pay our bills. I have been unemployed for almost 3 years, sending thousands of resume with no response. Obviously because I haven’t worked for that many years and they probably just put my resume at the bottom or e-maling back we will keep your resume on filed. Obama says he is commited to working in a bipartisan way to solve the fiscal challenges before us while continuing to grow the economy and lay a foundation for America to win the future. We need help now ASAP. What part does he not understand there are families losing their homes or have already had them foreclosed. Others are homeless or living in their cars if you can afford it and not repossed. What kind of a President is he if he does not listen to the 99ers and fails to mentionus who have lost our jobs of no fault of our own. Now he wants to run again, I will never vote for him again. Actually we don’t need a President when they don’t do anything for the American’s. But they sure help other countries, Wall Street, the rich give them breaks. Now our gas is so high you can’t even go for an interview, when you have to tell them SORRY I DON’T HAVE ANY GAS IN MY CAR.I HAVE HAD NO INCOME SINCE NOVEMBER. THEN HE SENT TO CONGRESS THE ODACITY TO SAY THEY WERE BUILT AROUND THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE TO LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS SO WE CAN INVESTIN IN OUR FUTURE. WHAT THE HELL WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY TO EVEN LIVE ON LET ALONG TO INVEST FOR OUR FUTURE, WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN FROM ONE DAY TO ANOTHER. THERE ARE CHILDREN STARVING AND LIVING IN HOMELESS MISSIONS OR MAYBE THEIR FAMILIES, BUT THAT CAN’T LAST LONG. A FAMILY WANTS TO FEEL SAFE AND STRUCTURED WITH FINANCIAL STABILITY. LIKE WHAT WE HAD IN THE PAST BEFORE THE DEM/REP GOT VOTED IN. PLEASE HELP US WE NEED ASAP, HELL WITH THE DEFICIT THE MONEY GETS PRINTED OUT JUST AS FAST TO THE FAT CATS LIKE THE GOVERNMENT. THEY DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I BET YOU IF ANY CONGRESS/REP/SENATE OR OBAMA’S FAMILY WAS IN OUR SHOES THEY SURE WOULD NOT LIKE IT ALL. NOT EATING EVERYDAY AND GOING TO SHELTERS. THIS IS NOT AMERICAN DREAM ANYMORE,THAT WAS LOST ALONG TIME AGO, WE ARE THE POOR NO MORE MIDDLECLASS. OUR PARENTS HAD PENSIONS, STOCK, SAVINGS,VACATIONS, FULL TIME JOBS, ETC. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET OUR CHANCE IN LIFE OR DO WE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE IT EVER HAPPENS, GOD HELP OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. THIS GOV, NEEDS TO START WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE ISN’T THAT WHAT OUR CONSTITUTIN SAYS!!
I DON’T GET IT??? here in New York they are about to lay off several thousand Public School Teachers because the buget will not afford them, BUT, there are thousands of ANCHOR BABIES and ILLEGAL ALIENS in the classrooms getting funding for education, FOOD STAMPS, WELFARE, FREE HOSPITAL CARE, INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT PAYING TO HAVE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE GIVE BIRTH TO ANCHOR BABIES??????????? And now various states are looking to fund giving these ILLEGAL ALIENS funding for college educations…….AMERICA WILL SOON BE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY JUST LIKE ALL THE COUNTRIES THESE ILLEGALS CAME FROM TO TAKE FREE HAND OUTS FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS! Our government is far more concerned about other countries than The USA.
I’m so tired of the calls, emails, sign this, sign that. LETS FIGHT. Who cares who started let’s finish it. DAMN BIN LADEN, JAPAN and EVERYONE ELSE. I’VE WORKED SINCE I WAS 12 NOW 50 NEVER ASKED ANYONE FOR A HANDOUT!!!! EITHER HELP OR I’LL TURN TO SELLING DRUGS. I DON’T GIVE A PLUCK RIGHT NOW!!!!! I LOOK AT MY CHILDREN AND THEIR FACES TELL ME TO WALK IN THE HOUSE/SENATE/WAYS AND MEANS AND SHOOT IT UP!!! BUT THAT WOULD JUST MAKE MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN’S HELL. HOW CAN WE GO FIGHT OTHER COUNTRIES AND YOU WON’T EVEN HELP THE ONES HERE FEED THEIR FAMILIES!!! ENOUGH TALK. LETS FORM AND RAISE HELL. THEN THEY WILL HEAR US AND SEE US!!!!
Tax breaks allow the rich to cash out their portfolio, this will take cash out of circulation which is a short term advantage to the rich because when there are less cash in the economic system and would stop the economic top from spinning as what the housing burst had cause this catastrophic. But if more cash are in the general public, the general middle class public live from paycheck to hand to mouth which promote(cash circulate right back into the system) commerce which create job thus demand for further business growth and employment. What he hell is wrong with our elected official retards???
I am 99er and I am sure it is to bad that I have to keep asking the President/Senate/Rep/ Congress and Boehner doing his job we need some help with HR589. It makes me sick that we have to beg for a handout from our government since we have worked all our 30, 40 years of our lives and when we need it they decide to take their little vaca’s when we need some leadership in the White House or thats what we use to respect. Not anymore they are a bunch of scoundrels and talk the walk, instead of giving us what the need that is ASAP. Do they think we are taking a nice vaca when we are worrying everyday wondering where the next buck is going to come. This week my car broke down leaking gas and luckily my son helped me out which was $58.00 and then after my husband came back from Welfare Dept. to apply for food stamps, because he is laid off/ We come home and our refg. went out we had to throw out so much meats and other items. It seems that we can never get ahead. My husband and I have worked all our lives since we were 16 and have never have to experience the catastrophe this US has going thru with no fault of our own. There are men out there committing suicide and killing their families just to put them out of their misery. So they don’t have to suffer. Why does our government have to put this far, where families are either killed or split up to become homeless. We have to go to our neighborhood churches for help by the Graceof God that they have food available or even the personal necessities, like toothpaste or toothbrushes, toiletpaper, since we can’t afford buying them. PLEASE HELP US WHEN YOU DECIDE TO HAVE THEM MAKE A DECISION WHEN THEY COME BACK FROM THEIR VACA, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL HELP OUT THE POOR, WHEN WE USED TO BE THE MIDDLE CLASS. THANKS FOR SCREWING THE 99 er.s THE MILLIONS OF FAMILIES SUFFERING. THE PRESIDENT CAN SAY THE UNEMPLOYMENT IS HIGH ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUT DOES NOT MENTION HOW HE IS GOING TO HELPTHEPEOPLE WHO NEED MONEY NOW!!!!!!!!!
We have a president? The P in president really stands for puppet! Obuma (pronounces OH-BUM-MAH) has no real power, he ain’t nuthin’ but a jive talkin’ dummy who has won a popularity contest a few years ago because Americans have gotten sick of Bush. Rep. Barbara Lee is another opportunist just like Senator Stab-her-now with big talks and empty promises. It was decided during the approval of tier 4 that both the Republican’ts and Dumbocrats have made a pact to never approve the creation of another tier to help out long term unemployed Americans because it was an unpopular thing to do. Nancy Pepsicola, a Dumbocrat, had the power when she was the Speaker to approve such an extension for the 99ers but instead, she and Obuma misled the whole nation into thinking that the latest extension (in exchange for the extension of the Bush tax cut for the rich) was made for all, and many Americans believed it. It appears now after the fact that a tier 5 will never happen so folks, do you really think that Republican’ts like Mr. Boner and Mr. Cantorso will now champion our cause? For months now, the GOP has suggested or mentioned using the leftover stimulus money to fund unemployment benefits but the Dumbocrats refused to do so therefore we are back to square one with no help in sight! Time is running out for many of us 99ers so let us ask our “Commander in Thief” to how the hell are we expected to live and support our children without any jobs and/or unemployment benefits? Let’s pray that we don’t end up with another socialist revolution like the one in Russia (Henry’s worst nightmare?)
Plan and simple our government dose not give a shit about the middle class people they would rather see us all dead then to help those that worked and paid taxes all their life. I don’t know which one is worse Obama or Bursh… It is very sad that our president could sit by and let this happen to good people. And what about his speech last Nov when he was fighting for the unemployment extention and gave the rich an extra extention on their taxes, Not one word was mention about the 99ers what does that tell you.
My take is every one of these asshole in DC can go to hell. I have worked for over 35+ years and been out of work for 3 year. I apply for job each and evryday (even on Sundays).
Looking for work is harder then working but we 99ers dont get paid for looking. In stead the jerks in DC say we dont look hard enoung and all we want is hand outs. They can all kiss my white ass. It is said they the Dems have the vote to pass HR589 but the Repunks dont want to hear our want to understand what us 99ers go thur each and every day. Do they have to worry abot having something as simple as TP to wipe your on ass, pay for gas, food, car insurance and all the daiyy needs to keep you going. Hell no! DC cares more for non US folks. If the do care about the 99ers how come they are not standing up and screaming to do something to help the 99ers out. Instead they sit back and do nothing. Us, 99ers need the leadershio to support us and be our voice. Shit I applied for food stamps and was told I will only get 14 dollars per month. If I had know that I would have no sat in line for 3 hours to apply.
IT’S TIME TAKE BACK WHAT IS OURS AND REMENBER WE ALL PAID THE TAXES FOR YEARS. i HAVE TO GO NOW CUZ i AM JUST GETTING MORE UPSET WITH ALL THIS BULLSHIT. i WISH I COULD RUN INTO THESE JERKS AND BEAT THE LIVING PISS OUT OF THEM AND THEN HANG HIGH FROM A TREE.
If I have gas i will enjoy it’s smell
I’m in, I’m down to a $1 on my account and they have the millions. What a shame!
Ask Obama why he gave our money away to the banks , especially without any prerequisits is still giving it away. Ask Obama where the 31 Trillion went to, there is always a paper trail. Ask Obama why is he still subsidizing the oil companies. Ask Obama why are we sending money to Pakistan ? Ask Obama why are we in Afghanistan loosing our young men daily? Ask Obama to point out one single thing he has done during his administration to help the people of the United States? Also, why are we financially supporting illegal aliens?
If my sister can go to AARP and do a survey on what would you do to balance the budget and do it. Why the hell cant our elected officials do it?
Its not the hand you are delt with its what you do with it that counts. The people that voted him into office are the same idots that voted Bush in, obviously.
Why isn’t Barbara Lee all over this? I’m 55 Years old and have been laid -off my last job of 15 years on 4/3/2009. It’s seems out in the world they are not interested in hiring anyone over 50. What are we supposed to do?
What are we supposed to do?
My options are homelessness or suicide.
Obama is busy working for everybody EXCEPT us Americans. It’s like we don’t matter and we don’t count, here in our own country.
Well when you go to your local voting booth
next time vote for a real american who cares about our country First.
Did you Vote for Obama, Feel Stupid Yet….
I am a 99er from Toledo, Ohio and I still want to know when we are going to be helped ASAP. I will probably lose my home in July,2011, because my taxes are behind another statistics on the chart. What makes me sicker is that we just paid our home paid off and now to lose it to the government. Don’t the government realize that we will be putting the money back into the system. My husband and I have worked all our lives we 56, both of us are unemployed right now. WE HAVE NO INCOME AT ALL JUST FOOD STAMPS, BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO PAY MY REAL ESTATE TAXES, UTILITIES, GAS FOR OUR CAR, CAR/HOME INSURANCE AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS TO BE ABLE TO TRY TO FIND A JOB. WE NEED THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE/REP/CONGRESS TO PASS THE LEGISLATION TO PASS THIS BILL ASAP. WE ARE SO STRESSED OUT NOT KNOWING OUR FUTURE. JOBS ARE NOT JUST GOING TO BE CREATED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS FOR 48 MILLION PEOPLE OR MORE. IF YOU WERE IN OUR SHOE’S WOULD YOU NOT HAVE TO PLEAD FOR HELP. WHY SHOULD WE WHEN NONE OF THIS IS NO FAULT OF OUR OWN. WE HAVE NEVER IN OUR LIFE HAD TO BE IN THE SITUATION THAT WE ARE ALL SUFFERING, ALONG WITH THE CHILDREN THAT ARE GOING THRU THIS DISGRACE OF A GOVERNMENT. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO A CHILD? HELP US!
Remember when our new president said I WILL CREATE NEW JOBS,Wasnt that a bunch of B/S,Example-That new bridge in California,Well that was subleted Out to CHINA!! Their labor and their materials. Do you really think any of our past presidents let that happen.Just not AMERICA. Now you say there 31billion dollars sitting there,I am sure they’re trying to find a way to line their pockets!Isnt there anyone in the White House who cares about us people,Americans, who helped build this country as our parents did?/
hey everybody that 31 billion is going for wallstreets bonus’s and congress’s much deserved raises someone goto pay for there vacations and the banks to and we all have to pay for obama and the secret service to fly all over the world you know it cost the tax payer 3 million dollars for that jerkoff to fly to a ball game and throw out a ball it’s pretty sickening that’s what think the reason is why
I guess its comeing down to showing these sob that the people are not going to take it anymore. If they want to be put out of office this bad, then I think we as americans should help them out of a job as soon as we can. Also think we should stop all money as american from going to them after they leave office, this should be put to a vote to the people of this country and not for them to vote on.
