That is pretty much the same problem I had with him…and I told him so.
I still like some of his stuff though…
Maybe he will stop being such a lone wolf…though I can be that at times myself…
When he wrote that he did not support S.3706 because his grandchildren would have to pay for it…I had a big problem. I do not believe that a price should be put on American citizens lives EVER.

After the ceremonies the rich folk will be attending party events designed to pamper their every indulgence and allow them to wallow in the delusion that they truly deserve all they have stolen from the rest of us. The 99ers back at the tent city will be enjoying their own feast, groundhog on a stick. That, my friends, is the difference between a rich man’s groundhog and a poor man’s.

White House Steers Attention Away from Tier 5 Unemployment Extension, Toward Small Business
The Obama Administration continued its firm policy of addressing the 99ers and the Tier 5 unemployment extension by ignoring them and concentrating on improving the economy this Monday when it announced the formation of Startup America…
So, all told, Startup America seems to be a silver bullet for Obama — endearing him to Big Business and conservatives, assuring the ‘little guys’ across America that he’s on their side, and giving him some memorable media for the recordbooks. All the while, the entire project does little that Big Business wouldn’t already do on its own, and only serves to sweep the 99ers and the Tier 5 unemployment extension further under the rug.

Tier 5 Unemployment Extension – BLS Data Collection Methods Are Deeply Flawed
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/7727680/tier_5_unemployment_extension_bls_data.html
Somebody at the Bureau of Labor Statistics needs to step up and address the poorly structured methodology for collecting unemployment data in the worst recession since the Great Depression. What we are doing today isn’t working!
House Dems To Reintroduce Longshot Bill For Long-Term Unemployed
WASHINGTON — Democratic Reps. Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Bobby Scott (Va.) are reintroducing legislation this week to provide additional weeks of unemployment insurance benefits for “99ers,” the long-term jobless who have exhausted their benefits and still haven’t found work.
“The bill that I am introducing with Congressman Scott, The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Expansion Act, would ensure that these long-term unemployed workers get the long overdue assistance that they need to support their families, make ends meet and contribute to our economy,” Lee said in a statement. “Our bill would add 14 weeks of emergency unemployment benefits and would make sure these benefits are retroactively available to people who have exhausted all their benefits and are still unemployed.”

“I Will not be beat Down” For those friends I have met here, I am Back although only a little better then before. Still out of work but hey sold my gaming computer for 250.00 just to get the internet reconnected, but it’s alright. Separating needs and wants and one day hopefully I will get myself out of this god forsaken wrath called homeless. People have really forgotten what a dollaris really worth. It can buy a cup of coffee on a winters night. Buy a burrito for a person who is very hungry. Millions of stories just like this over the blogging internet. I have given to those in need beyond my own means,but I am no hero…NO. Something this country is lacking and continues to lack. People helping people !!!!! The government only wants one thing to happen in this recession. They want the 99ers to just go away. Not surprising you bring the issue of unemployment up and senators will quickly try to change the conversation or plainly just walk away.
I mean after all you live in a glass house with a cute white picket fence everything in your world is great? Right? And the press is not any better.
Clearly all other news is more important..Right? Unemployment ? Didn’t the government just say things are looking better? After all they are gods spoken truth and why would they lie to us ? President Obama invites super singer to white house for super bowl party!!! “A hope for change” is what he said during election time. How about 1.3 million still out of work and increasing daily? Is this the hope for change you were looking for? The biggest Power in the world and not one crumb,small coffee or hey lets invited a few homeless people into our home for super bowl? Although I know you have to play it in the interest of what they tell you to say. Homeless person/s in the white house just wouldn’t be good “PR” (public relations)for the government because that would mean that they actually care….Right?

Are Homeless Counts Like Counting Sheep?
If you were one of those compassionate Americans wanting to help resolve the sad state of homelessness in this country, you may have woken up hours before the sun rises to help your local city count homeless persons.
I know how it works. You drag yourself out of bed hours before you typically get up, so you can scour the streets counting the heads of sleeping homeless people.
One, two, three, four. Forty five, forty six. Seven hundred thirty seven, seven hundred thirty eight.
If you were in Los Angeles, incredibly the homeless numbers turn into five figures. Eighteen thousand three hundred and forty nine… You get the image.
Every other alley you look down, every freeway overpass you walk under, and nearly all parks seems to have some sleeping person rolled up in a ball fending off the early morning January cold…

Oppression, unemployment and poverty are not just Northern African struggles. They are also prevalent in America. Ironically, homeless Americans are already on the streets, just not yet transitioning their poverty into rage.
Most of us who are housed see homelessness as a nuisance, a blight on America’s landscape. But for those who struggle on the streets battling freezing weather, empty stomachs, and young bullies who beat up on homeless persons, homelessness is not a nuisance. It is oppression.
I wonder if the tipping point for rage against homelessness will occur when homeless Americans use their large numbers to object to this country’s policies against poverty.
Or will an uprising have to wait until housed Americans join them?
