Does unemplyment = lazy welfare dum?

Hello blog, our friends on the right wing are making attacks toward our benefits. I will go through several of them. Newt Gingrich, the guy that wears that WIG -- I think it's a wig I've seen it wiggle -- says unemployment is welfare and that it makes people who are out of a job lazy because they don’t want to get a job. Wait, when did unemployment, the thing you put money into in case you are laid off, become welfare? These Republicans are discovering new things by the day!




Well, first of all, he says get a job and stop mooching off this welfare basically. First of all, people honestly even if it does sound a tad "wrong" if you’re getting thirteen dollars an hour from unemployment to the seven dollars you will probably get from the run down replacement job you will get offered probably. Which will you honestly take? The one that will give you more money while you look for an actual STABLE job that will pay as much as possible for your abilities or rush to find a job that will pay you less than your old job and even less than your unemployment THAT YOU PAID FOR.



I think I'm done with the fuzzy haired guy. *Plop wig falls off* <--- I'm just waiting for that. I really am. Make it happen Washington.

How you doin'?

 

HEY, MAJORITY there’s a new poll coming out that says TARP and the bank bailout was made by Obama (over 40%) instead of the actual president who did it. Captain illiterate, I mean Bush (39%). Bravo to the 39% who actually knows but the majority of you don’t know BUSH bailed out the banks with TARP Ok!? Ok.



On the topic with Bush, remember back in the good days where you didn't have to look up the presidents words because his vocabulary was below your own. Yeah 2000-2008 Well, remember that time he said we are living longer therefore we should work into our seventies before retiring. Well the GOP is picking up on that idea. They want you to work into your seventies. First of all GOP, meet my Grandmother. She's almost seventy so in your little world she should be in the job market. She has bad legs and can barely walk up and down the stairs. In fact, she just found out that she will need knee replacement surgery. She should definitely be working right?



I thought these guys try to protect the American Dream.

Get to work, grandma

We ALL know that dream of retiring in your 50's for working hard for thirty years and traveling the world for awhile and then settling down and seeing your grandchildren. Well if you’re working until you’re seventy and your body is in bad shape you won’t even WANT to travel the world. Let alone the fact when you hit Australia you’re almost in your eighties and picked up a wheel chair or two along the way.



These right wingers are absolutely insane and incorrect whether it being that unemployment is welfare or that working into your seventies is a good thing. And this group in 2010 you look across the board and you’re seeing these men and women who were candidates that weren’t picked by the GOP ticket winning and then turning moderately conservative.



From their FARRRR right wing agendas from before winning their recent primaries. Sharon Angle as an example, she said before that Social Security is a broken system and should be scratched. Now she says that the system can be changed and fixed. Coincidence? She also said that we need to take out congress with the use of the 2nd amendment before, now she won’t even comment on it. Don’t fall for this my brothers and sisters fight THY RED DEATH.



These guys still believe that the middle class and the poverty are moving up the social class through hard work and that everyone can make it under any circumstances. We are becoming one of the hardest countries in the world to move up the ladder. Instead of just paying attention to the 2% bracket for major tax breaks (100 thousand in the millionaires club) and the 98% the people like you and I most likely. If your one of those 2% donate to my "welfare"… I mean Unemployment.

Nah, I just mean send me a fat check.

Good night blog.
