Unemployment benefit extension criteria unfortunate

Congress is broken, our government and our leaders are incapable of fulfilling their responsibilities. While they sit in their cozy warm offices, people out here are dying and they could careless. Billions have been sent to Wall Street, in time for them to cook the books again and pass out MILLIONS in bonuses. They enact a first time home buyer program that is blowing up in our faces with loop holes that are allowing four year olds to get get benefits.

All these cash for votes, opps…. clunkers programs continue to lead us down the road of disaster. The road of ignoring the elephant in the room, that of a out of control debit load and unemployment that is forcing the foreclosure rate to climb beyond the point of no return.

Reality is, healthcare and cash for clunkers are not feeding people or keeping the roof over their heads. Unemployment is our number one problem, as it directly effects when the real issues that need to be corrected are addressed. Without people working, debit can not be paid down, taxes can not be paid, hello it isn’t that difficult to understand.

Now this poor woman, trying to do the right thing gets smacked for working, doing anything she can. The powers to be basically penalize her by cutting her benefits nearly in half. Let’s not even get into the unemployment extension that is being held up because these freaks can’t agree on what account to use. WHAT DO YOU CARE, ITS NOT YOUR MONEY ANYWAY!

Hello…HELLO….ANYONE UP THERE ON THAT HILL…..HELLO???

There are two sides to every issue. This is an issue that has been around long before I moved here. Yet, I hear about it every year, and I am not sure if I should be upset by everyone in Olympia or threatened by the boys in the Renton/Everett.

One thing is for sure, change is coming to Western Washington.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — American International Group is set to pay $450 million of bonuses to employees of the unit that was largely responsible for the New York insurer’s near collapse last fall.
