Anybody lose their unemployment yesterday?

This may be impossible for you guys because of regulation but, over here, people who are short of cash join the street and market cooked food business. Chicken, pork, kebabs and rice dishes are the most common but you go for what's popular in your own area.

If there's anyone near Wooster, Ohio and has experience in electronic circuit board assembly or troubleshooting, pm me please. Unfortunately the company I work for doesn't have the staffing to bring in folks that have no background, but if you do, I'd like to talk with you.

Ok, it's another job that won't make ya rich, but....

But let's be honest. The Earned Income Credit is nothing but free money, for those who, generally, aren't paying a dime. It would be to our benefit, if they didn't even file, but of course, anyone who plays the system, for their money, will gladly spend more effort jumping through the necessary hoops, than actually spending time looking for work or actually working.

Dont' worry, there will soon be a huge underground barter system going on. The only thing is, if the govt. doesn't run out of money, there will also be informers out there, trying to put you in jail, for illegal commerce.

Problem is licenses and inspections and each town you have to get a license to sell food. etc.. etc..
Yup... my hubbys life long dream is to have a hot dog cart... *sigh* Gotta love the man.

You've got to love the parrotting of talking points.........THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT ADDS TO THE DEFECIT, AND THAT IS SPENDING. The govt. could grab every dime from every "rich person" and guess what, they would only find more ways to spend it, rather than to eliminate debt.

If all of these rich liberals are so passionate about paying down the debt, and really want to prove it, let them stroke a check....The truth is, they just love confiscating OPM.

I am all for back to basics system you are right about the whistle blowers though. I am mostly afaid that if we go into a 30s style depression that folks are not as humble as they were then nor as patiant, and you will have to protect you and yours with force or become a statistic. lots of folks will not be able to accept that kind of circumstance, or know how to function in that environment so we will have to protect what we have.

I was a single mom for awhile, short on funds, so my son and I made fudge for several Christmases...One year we got hooked up with a business person who sent fudge to his customers. We ended up clearing over $1000 after all the supplies were purchased. Just by running an ad in the paper. With the holidays here, many people are willing to buy services and such - any idea could possibly be a source of some cash.

I feel for the folks who have lost their unemployment. It's stressful for those of us that are working, but has to be unbelieveably so for those that aren't. Please hang on and reach out.

That's a good one. Where are all the jobs the so called job creators created hiding at. Have you ever wondered that? People that net under 1 million aren't creating jobs. Neither are those over 1 million. At least not in America. They are creating quite a few in Asia though. As a matter of fact they are moving quite a few from America to Asia. In my opinion any one making over 50k should pay an extra 3% and that includes me. We have a serious deficit problem in this country and it's not going to be solved by giving more tax breaks. They should give companies tax breaks if needed to get them back to America. Instead of giving them breaks to move overseas. Obama has tried to get legislation passed to stop those tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas. The bill has passed in the House but can't get by the Senate. For some reason part of the Senate doesn't want the jobs to come back.

BTW the tax cuts for the wealthy will continue in exchange for continuing unemployment benefits. Obama officially caved in today. He didn't really have a choice. The unemployed were being held hostage. The so called job creators will be able to continue investing that extra 3% into the derivatives market. Where have these so called job creators been keeping their creations at anyway? They've been singing that tune for 9 years now. Don't bother answering that. We know where the jobs are hiding. China.

In March Doug lost his job. He gets unemployment which is 60% of his pay, he has child support so the Ex gets 40% of the 60% leaving us with 20%.....NOW he has had no work and went back to school to get a different career that had jobs. Mind you he was an Electrician. He is going into the medical field. ME, I was laid off in August (505 of the company was) do to a take over to our company by a company from Tampa. I get my unemployment and am only on my first tier. SO, he has one more semester to go and we will be out of his unemployment before than. I can not find a job for anything..and I am in the medical field. So I dont care about whose side says what or what dem or republican thinks they know better..We have always worked. We have always worked HARD. The money is needed or well who knows what. We do barter as much as possible, and Doug tries to get side work as much as possible. Anyway...sorry I guess I needed to get that off my chest. We live within our means but now the means are ending...where does the leave it.

they are creating jobs by going out to expensive dinners, buying boats , taking vacations ,having contractors add on to their houses , putting in swimming pools, buying new cars , hiring folks to paint their houses, hiring folks to landscape their yards and mow them weekly, lets face it around 70 percent of the buisinesses left in this country are small buissinesses, who pay their taxes through income taxes. so lets tax them more so the govt can continue its assault on the middle class! just sayin.
