You have a very rude way of saying "People should expand their job search to lower paying options and budget better". People making poor choices doesn't make them a "slacker". I agree with the idea (in the way I phrased it), but the way you say it is very offensive.

Hopefully this economy is a wakeup call. Post WWII growth of America and baby boomer attitudes have really made Americans think that we're invincible. This economic struggle we're going through right now is the best thing to happen to this country since WWII. It's hard to see hit now, but 30 years from now, we'll have a different outlook.

Good for you, And get over yourself and what your paying for, We all paid into Unemployment for years with Taxes weather one wants to believe it or not. Not everyone was able to buy a cheap house just 5 to 7 years ago

Yea, I think I might have had a lapse of judgement. I updated my post.

And Who "Broke" the system We All Paid Into?

& Who "Broke" The Banks, That We All Bailed-Out?

& Now We Are Supposed To Shut-Up As We Become Homeless?
Well, As Far As The News Sources, No One Hears A Sound.
Of Our Silent Screams.

Ever notice how the most vitriolic statements against the unemployed come from posters that have either collected their 99 weeks already OR for whatever reason are unable to claim any benefits?

It can be equally noted that those who are most outraged by the forfeiture for the bill, are those that would be able to collect more money from the tax payer's accounts payable if it had passed?

I have a clue and I was prepared for it. I don't need granite counter tops or stainless steel apliances to be happy. heck I don't even have TV. it's a new world and I can deal with it. live like me and you'l be ok and stop hitting yourself on the head it can cause brain damage.
