[AZGrizFan]

He's bought into the Pelosi hype....

Enough is enough, jackass....get these poeple off the taxpayer dole and get them out there looking for work. There's lots of jobs out there.

Well, yes and no.

Yes: a person can buy goods and services. Like going out to eat and paying bills.
No: Getting unemployment will get you lazy. I know a guy was on unemployment for over 2 years and it took alot for him to say, I need to work somewhere!!

My wife has been unemployed for 5 months and doesn't receive any benefits.

Obama is right. People on unemployment spend to survive everything they have. That money isn't shipped off to the Bahamas were it does no one in the US any good.

But does it condition some to not go out and seek work?

No, who wants to live off 300.00 a week. That's no money.

Some very lazy people, probably. But the good it does far outweighs the few negatives.


No program is going to be 100% effective. You will have abusers of anything.


But as a whole, this helps

Wait a second, I thought the economy has recovered? If it has, then there is no need to keep extending unemployment benefits. And there are plenty of jobs out there, just not jobs Americans are willing to do.

Thats Bullshit. Most Americans are under Employed. Yeah its a Job but you are only making 10/ Hr. Yeah, let the good times Roll

[TheDancinMonarch]

If unemployment benefits are so good for the economy, then shouldn't the economy be booming as we have paid so many so much for so long to be unemployed.

Under employed means they have time in their schedule for a second job no? And no one is entitled to make gobs of money just for showing up at any job.

No. The money mostly goes toward paying off debts that they already incurred. Besides, the amount of unemployment benefits in the aggregate is not enough to have a macro economic impact.

NO under employed is a woman with a Masters Degree working at Sears on the docks making 10/hr. THAT'S UNDER EMPLOYED.

Pieces of paper hanging on a wall does not entitle anyone to more money even if they are working a menial job. I don’t give a fvck if someone has a PhD and is serving as the fry cook at the local McDonalds, that PhD shall be paid fry cook wages. Sucks that is not what you want to hear, but that is the way it is.

Dude, I'm just telling you what underemployed means. Trust me, their are thousands of them in our country. But then again, when you have a skilled blue collar labor force, you get this shit!!!

[Chizzang]

Doesn't everybody have a Masters now days..?
at the University of Montana (back in the quarters era) you only needed 12 courses for a Masters
that's ONE YEAR if you grind it out

Throw in some field work and a short 200 page book and you've got a PhD or Eng.D. in 3 years

Easy...

And I’m telling you that just because they have a degree doesn’t mean they’ll be making the big bucks they think they should working a position they are over qualified for. Shit happens; sometimes you have to adjust with the times for better or for worse.

I earned my Master's in 94, when you had to go to class. Not this online shit. But in Atlanta, GA. It seems like everyother person has a damn Masters..........lol. But I think my city is a little different. Travel 100 miles East or West, and its a different story.

The Griz Goddess and I were just regaling some of our AZ friends of your "worthless MBA" theory this past week....your name was used in vain.

It would have been far, far worse without the help
