1.3 million to lose unemployment benefits today (1 Viewer)

I'm sure that God will take care of them. If they suffer, it's because they don't praise Him enough. The world is better off without them. Screw the poor, that is one of His central teachings, right?

 
Not indefinitely. But the question we should ask is, do we benefit as a society by removing these people from unemployment? Will it affect our deficit and debt in a significant manner, one way or the other? Is it worth it?

My impression is that it is not worth it. We gain nothing significant by cutting these people off at this time. They will add to the people looking for work, or to the homeless. They will stop being able to pay their bills, which will in turn cause companies to fail. In return for this, we subtract a few millions from a deficit which is close to a trillion a year.

Makes no sense.

Study after study shows they are looking for work right now.

Same with health insurance and medicine...I go with the God's Will Plan, personally. Bathing in Holy Water, eating communion wafers, and drinking the wine is my health insurance plan. If you get sick, prayer is the answer not these silly doctors and medicines.

Government. :lol:

You've been reading the Conservapaedia Bible again.
Yeah but that didn't inspire my response. Cross' Thanksgiving thread did. I do love the CB though. It can't be real, but it's funny.

Another 1.9 million will lose their benefits by the end of June and 1.7 million more by year’s end.

Obama thinks the solution is that we should just pay them indefinitely.
What's your solution?
Everyone that continues to need assistance should be sterilized so they don't bring even more people into the world. The government should take their children until they can find a job to support them.

Don't you have to be actively looking for work to continue to receive benefits?

You understand that Mr. Cross is a lame alias mocking Crosseyed (who no longer posts here) and not a Crosseyed alias, right?

F'n liberals. Always trying to increase the role of government in society.

I was guessing you were going to say gas chamber, so this seems quite reasonable in comparison. :thumbup:

 
How about giving them careers in the armed forces? Don't they recruit mainly among the poor? And to find a use for them, just bomb Syria and Iran.

 
I thought the Obama economy was back on track and booming? The progressives like to point to the stock market as the indicator so why so many unemployed?

WTF? Have we been lied to again? No f###ing way!

:shrug: or maybe they will go out and get a job even if it is outside their career path..

I've mentioned this before but I was laid off from my first job out of college. While my unemployment checks were coming in I was out daily hunting for a new job in my career field .. This was the "ancient times" before internet where you had to check the newspapers, and cold call companies and mail resumes.

When I received the warning that my unemployment checks would end in a month I started considering other possibilities, including going back to school and get my bachelor degree.

Once the checks ended I got a full time job at a Restaurant as a Prep Cook, started looking into college, and continued to send out resumes.. about a month and half later I got a job in my career path and as they say, the rest is history..

To this day I still think being forced to re-evaluate my career and start working Full time made me look , and feel, less "desperate" at the interview and helped me land the job. :thumbup:

Something drastic needs to be done to a system that awards poor people for making more poor people. Nobody wants to see any body be hungry, especially children.

 
Well crap I guess all those jobs that didnt pay what I got in unemployment benefits will be an option now.

You're a real threat to the progressives here. They might try and take you down. Be wary.

you must claim you applied for at least two jobs per week in Ohio in your field. You are subject to audit. The chances of being audited are slim. Easy way around it if you don't want to work, apply for jobs in your field you are either over or under qualified for. You probably won't be called to interview. And you'll beat the audit on the slim chance your number is called. Most that get audited apply for jobs unrelated to their field.

Probably true but how many jobs are available for these 3.2 million unemployed?

I thought that it was a possibility that you were a CrossEyed alias. Now I know you're not, because he hates that particular saying, and often points out that it's not Biblical in nature.

waiter is the best route to go, short term. Ar least in Ohio you are eligible for an extra hundred bucks or so of earnings per week if you work. As a waiter you only need to claim ten percent of your sales to make your employer and uncle Sam happy. Anything extra, no one is the wiser.Good way to extend benefits and live a more comfortable life while you search.

Good thing there's a solid, unprotected system of sex education and access to birth control without attempts to shame those that want to use it.

I'm glad you were able to learn from this, and that it helped you become a success, and I certainly hope more people follow your example.

But in terms of a political argument, the statement, "I got mine without help; why can't they?" doesn't work. It sounds good, but the opportunities in this country are not equal for everyone, and that is an unfortunate reality. And even if I accepted your premise fully, it doesn't change the fact that cutting off unemployment benefits from these people is not beneficial to us as a society.

Though I'm certainly concerned for the unemployed, I'm more concerned about us: the majority who are gainfully employed. We suffer by cutting off their benefits. It is bad for US.

If I were to get laid off, I would hope not to find a job soon. I'd do the minimum required to look and still get benefits. If the perfect job came along, I suppose I would take it but I would do whatever I could not to settle. Once the unemployment stopped, I'd get serious. I imagine there are a lot of people out there that are doing what I would do. Not the majority of unemployed, certainly, but a significant number.

Unemployment was 7.8% when Obama took office and is 7.0% now. You want to talk stock market numbers? No, I bet you don't. :lmao:
