Blog - 99ers Crisis About to Get Much Worse

Idea to help every 99er. Special tier 5, draw UI on Tier 5 until the National rate drops below 7.5%.

Reasons
No one is on UI because they want to.
No one gets rich off UI.
Every dollar UI puts 1.70 – 2.00 back into economy.
Reduce burden on other assistance programs. it is gonna cost one way or another
Getting UI have to keep actively searching for work.
Gives a more accurate number of Unemployment.
Keep people off the streets, in homes, food, bills paid.
US goal get people back to work, People use UI to find work.
Everyone can have “enough time” to find work during this economic storm.

If it costs 80 billion for 4 tiers of UI for 13 months and say there is an equal number of 99ers, to the 4 tiers then this system could run for 10 years for same value the top 2% get in Tax breaks for 2 years.

Stops UI bickering in congress and gets focus creating jobs to get National rate down to stop Special Tier 5.

Once National rate below 7.5% Special Tier 5 would end 30 days from announcement.

Weird, the White House say`s there is nothing more they can do for the unemployed, and at the same time increase our debt 900 billion as a gift to the wealthy (MERRY CHRISTMAS). Right now the senate is talking about having to cut spending in the near future to make up for, what their doing now. When they cut spending do you suppose that they`ll cut anything that the rich receive, or what remains as a life support for the common man ie. social security, medicare, medicaid, healthcare, no child left behind, food stamps, welfare, do away with labor laws. In truth are we not looking allot like, what we fought against, and called evil elsewhere in the world ??

ok donny I just listened to the press conference with reid. He stated there was several amendaments that would be added to the bill before the vote. Do we know which ones. I heard one was brought up on the floor today for the 99ers. please let us know when you do. thanks and i’m still hoping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well isn’t that what we all expected!!!!! The Goverment people have all their monies and more, why would they waist their time on us 99’ers.. after all we were the first to get the Washington BOOT from jobs, we’re past the time for caring. MERRY CHRISTMAS ? I don’t think so..

HOW CAN WE EMAIL THIS CHART TO THE PRESIDENT AND ALL THE SENATORS TODAY? i ALSO WONDER WITH OPRAH STARTING HER OWN NETWORK MAYBE SHE WOULD GIVE THE 99ERS SOME AIR TIME? I’M NOT GIVING UP DONNY BUT THANKS FOR THE DOWNER. THINK POSITIVE THAT SOMEONE IN THE HOUSE WILL ADD THE AMENDMENT TO THE BILL FOR TIER FIVE. GOD WE ARE ALL PRAYING AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP. WE KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT LET US DOWN. IN GODS NAME AMEN.

Rogue, life is a bitch, karma always comes back to bite you in the ass for the things you say and do…..and someday soon you too could be feeling what these people are feeling. They paid into the goverment for unemployment insurance, its not their fault that the economy went belly up and they lost their jobs. They want to work, none of them are getting rich collecting unemployment benefits, they are just surviving, feeding their familes and keeping a roof over their heads. Your attitude towards them really leaves a lot to be desired, if your mama never taught you to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say, then allow me. Someday soon you may need these people to back you up when your living out in the street and some uneducated moron tells you to find a job when you can’t.

Try getting a brain before you post crap like that.

The version of the unemployment extension legislation that just went through the Senate and is headed for the House includes billions in MORE tax breaks for essentials such as NASCAR and the rum producers in the Virgin Islands (and there are others). Nice to know our legislators have a firm grasp on their priorities………..sigh

Not counting the unemployed that have run out of payments will keep the stats for NYSE and etc inflated and will eventually cause a crisis. All the figures that are reported for daily trading will be inflated … hold on the market will slide when this is all done. Crash????

This is not the CHANGE That I was hoping for, but to be honest, the operative word here is not change, but HOPE.! What`s going to happen when hope is lost, and a new class of poverty is set adrift? I`v got a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg, and a tempest is on the near horizon. GOD HELP US ALL..

In all honesty, I’ve had several employers mention to me on interviews that they are not interested in hiring people who have been unemployed for 2 years. They always ask what have been doing these last two years. Um, Looking for a job. Also, most of references are past supervisors that are now unemployed and felt the hardship of this recession. Domino effect.

First things first bigearl666, watch your mouth!!!!!!!!! Secondly caps are considered a childish! Thirdly learn how to spell so when you do go for your job interview you can tell them you are educated.

OMG!!! This is absolutely ridiculous…once you run out of 99 weeks, you are not considered part of the workforce?? How much more pathetic can our government actually get? I am disgusted that I live in a country that it’s own government is actually turning its back on their own people!!!

reply to felixsmom you are so true. we can’t give up. fight,fight.fight!!!!!!!!! we are the true baby boomers and giving up isn’t our nature. we invented piketing and riots for change. so why stop now were ahead.

I`ll give you that one.

Doing away with labor laws does increase the bottom line, if you own the company. And where do you think the spending cuts will come from ?

Washington does not care about the poor they are hell bent on destroying the middle class or whats left of the middle class. Obama is a Wall St. crook and lied about change he’s continued the BUSH Administrations policies they will always worry about themselves.

Pray that you never experience financial hardship. You should not rejoice when others suffer such misfortune. Do not be so arrogant during such a terrible time of financial trouble. Always remember, that we never know what will happen to us in the future. Don’t rely on your false sense of security.

Bankruptcy will also increase. We will have a another huge dip in the recession. I’m one of those that was laid off in Mar 09. At least my husband is still working.

I can’t believe that Congress just can’t seem to get it right. Everything is only half done….except for the rich. We just don’t have the lobbying power.

KEEP the FIGHT ALIVE for TIER 5.. www.american99ersunion.com EVERYONE continue to fax that letter to your Congressman and CALL if you can. Nothing has passed and there is NO bill President Obama can sign so lets continue on and fight to demand ALL of the unemployed are included in this legislation. ALL of the UNEMPLOYED!

DIOGENES SLAPPED THE FATHER, WHEN THE CHILD SWORE.

WHAT’S THE MATTER CAN’T YOU GUYS HANDLE THE TRUTH. ALL OF THIS WAS CAUSED BY ALL OF YOU IDIOTS THAT BELIEVED IN THIS HOPE AND CHANGE BULLSH*T. NOBAMA HAS YOU BY THE BALLS AND HE’S JUST WAITING TO SQUEEZE THEM HARDER. YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET !!!!!!! JUST WAIT UNTIL HE PUTS ALL OF YOU TO WORK ON HIS PLANTATION !!!!!!!!!!

Well, I wonder how many businesses will close down due to the lack of sales? I’m not spending on anything for Christmas. I only have until the end of Januanry on unemployment.

Well, Congress is full of Christians… who are turning their back on their fellow man. I doubt praying will change their mind.

For everyone that still has a job… this is not over yet. So I wouldn’t be so quick to judge… you might just find yourself losing a job before this is all over with.

When Wikileaks released classified documents alot of you might have said shame on such a person for releasing such documents but why not release the truth about what Governments do? they should be accountable to you the people don’t agree with them that this was bad because their actions over 11+ years these politicians have showed they do not care about us.

Lobbist?? I bet their getting their checks on a regular basis.. What we need is the Senate and House to get off their rich butts and come together and stand for all the American people who are out of work some relief before they all go home for their Holidays!!!!

Bernie Sanders is still fighting for us! He is on Cspan2. God bless him.
