Obama Biden 2012! Change you can think of, but not actually experience. But it’s good to think of it right? Come on vote for us so we can spend our way out of bankruptcy. I mean that’s how it works right? Rough crowd. The top 1 percent pay the top 99 percent which feed of the top 1 percent and the top 3 percent pay 80 percent of the taxes so the bottom… never mind. Obama Biden 2012… How can you get involved… read on…

1.) Buy ear plug, insert them wear at all times so you can’t hear
2.) Buy a blind fold, wear it so you can’t see.
3.) Before you use said blind fold and ear plugs, be sure to read the instructions book on how you will think, what you will do, give us all your money, let us control your every move, let us watch you every where you go, give your soul to us.

Your lack of knowledges need no reply.

fakk, you can’t be that dumb, are you really that dumb, all kidding aside.

You are questioning if people have the INALENABLE right not UNALIENABLE, to shelter, food, cars, education etc. What planet have you been on. Do you know what has been going on in our country over the past century. Do you realize how enslaved we have been to big corporations. Do you realize how sons and daughters have been sent to war to fight for their economic interests?
Are you even beginning to comprehend yet how the deck has been stacked against us? Do you understand that our tax money has been going overseas to foreign governments in a scam where the money never reaches the impoverished in those nations but instead is paid off to puppet governments and half of it is funneled back into the bank accounts of the greedy aristocracy corporate owners in this country who run the government. Bush’s right hand man was the former CEO of Merill Lynch.

House Dems Open To Compromise On 99ers Bill

WASHINGTON — The Democrats in the House of Representatives who are pushing for additional jobless aid for the long-term unemployed say they are willing to compromise with Republican leadership on cutting spending from the budget to prevent the cost of new benefits from adding to the deficit.

In a Wednesday letter to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Bobby Scott (D-Va.) wrote, “We want to work with you to identify how best to finance this legislation and ensure its swift passage.”

A rally in San Francisco on Saturday drew thousands to the city’s Civic Center, in a show of solidarity with Wisconsin and the public sector unions there. The San Francisco demonstrators were angry about Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s plan to strip public sector unions of their collective bargaining rights, but that’s not all they were angry about.

According to an article recently we now have approximately 44 million people participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Its time for Congress to start thinking about taking care of our own country. The answer is Jobs, jobs and jobs.

I have a couple HUGE questions these days…

Why didn’t the Democrats try to come up with a way to pay for it when they controlled both houses of Congress, and before the elections when it would have gained them countless votes from the 99ers.

Why would they not even bring it to the floor for an up or down vote?

And why would the Democratic leaders not push for it, or even allow it to be included in the tax cut deal when the rich overwhelmingly benefited from that deal while taxes on the poor were increased?

Now the conversation in DC is all about how much more is going to be cut in help to the poor we are supposed to think they are finally going to actually try to help the 99ers?

I say BS! The Dems had every chance in the world already to help us and they did nothing! They left us to freeze and die on the streets!

And everyone knows the Republicans have no intention of helping us besides talking more about their phantom job creation BS.

“Both Houses need over 50% of either house to pass a bill on to the President. For an ordinary bill to pass each chamber or house of the US congress, it needs a simple majority of yea votes which would be 50% + 1 vote. In the US House of Representatives, ordinarily there are a total of 435 seated Representatives. 50% of 435 is 217.5. As there are no half votes, the fewest yea votes required for an ordinary bill to pass the House would normally be 218. In the US Senate, ordinarily there are a total of 100 seated Senators. 50% of 100 is 50. A simple majority is 50% + 1, thus the fewest yea votes required for an ordinary bill to pass the US Senate is 51.”

Job cuts for poor seniors could up homelessness

Really? No shit…you’re joking…right?

LOS ANGELES – For $700 a month, 65-year-old Esmeralda Calderon cares for children part-time through a federal community service job that’s in jeopardy because of cuts to the proposed federal budget for 2011.
Under the Department of Labor’s Senior Community Service Employment Program, more than 75,000 elderly Americans living in poverty in all 50 states earn their keep by the slimmest of margins. To qualify, participants must be over 55 and earning less than 125 percent of the federal poverty level — $13,600 a year.
In the budget bill signed Friday by President Barack Obama, the program was slashed by 45 percent, from $825 million to $450 million a year. Advocates say it could mean as many as 58,000 fewer jobs if states or national groups are forced to discontinue the program because of the reductions.

A Disillusioned 99’er Shares His Disappointment With The American Dream, Welcomes Death

“Mark”, a member of the ever growing cadre of disillusioned, disenchanted and disgruntled millions of American unemployed, has written a letter shared by A Company of One, in which he explains the plight of 99’ers (those whose extended unemployment benefits are set to expire) in which he chronicles his plight and his terminal disappointment with the American system. One can only imagine how all the “99’ers” would feel if they did not have the benefit of living at least partially subsidized for 2 years in the socialist state of America. If Bahrain is any indication, where the government’s attempt to purchase the love of its people just failed today, pretty soon not even the 99 weeks of EUCs will do much to suppress what is an unmistakably rising anger among the broad US population.

Mr. Clark, the only thing these fuckin’ scumbags will and do understand is and will be a dose of medicinal “lead”. It’s really useless to send anything else. They all do what they want when they want to do it. There is no “listening”, nor “hearing” us. The only one’s they do hear are their corporate sponsors. There’s only 1 option here, “medicinal lead”.

UP THE REVOLUTION….NOW

@Was

Terrific link from www.oftwominds.com, thanks. Back around the mid-nineties or maybe earlier, what were called “Personnel” departments all over the country were turning into “Human Resource” departments. When they were called Personnel departments, their job was at least partially for the interests of employees—stuff like the paperwork for benefits, resolving disputes, etc., or at least neutral in just shuffling the paperwork for new hires and fires.

But the relatively neutral “Personnel” departments turned into “Human Resource” departments about the time that employees were being referred to not as persons with skills, but rather as “resources.” A “resource” is more easily a dispensable thing, implying a temporary worker or even a contracted company, even machinery, rather than someone whose life would be shattered by losing a job.

To all those ignorant people out there that say unemployed people can live on minimum wage without a problem, READ THIS.

As President Obama and members of Congress debate national budgets, Shawn McMahon has been calculating individual and family budgets.

He’s the research director for Wider Opportunities for Women, a group that works with low-income women and families. The nonprofit group just released its Basic Economic Security Tables index, which measures the minimum income workers need to achieve basic economic security.

According to the report, to achieve economic security the average minimum income needed for a family with two workers and two young children is $67,920 — that’s with both parents working, and earning just over $16 an hour.

And a single worker with no children needs to make about $30,000 a year, which means working full-time and earning twice the minimum wage.

The US stagnation is absurd at this point. The one most important / priority Obama should have been focusing on was the ECONOMY!!!! Our President’s most distinguishing characteristic is to be able to see what is MOST important. Any moron would have seen we needed to stop the bleeding of the financial crisis; that’s right an idiot would have known this (oh, sorry is that crass? spare me the semantics!!!!)
What did we get? A President who BLEW UP THE BALLOON of government and said; Oh yes” we sugar coated that one”…..Now let’s have a party / and spin everything about how successful we’ve been. This makes me want to barf. It has been one side show after another and now it’s the campaign? The Obama experiment should be over. It sucked and failed. (cont)

Government should not only have undergone the same correction the economy experienced but it should have been cut in half. This is where we needed the LEADERSHIP of a man who can accurately be called PRESIDENTIAL. Not some Avant-garde ding a ling…….. He has STUNTED the growth of our economy, oh, but I guess that is what “Progressive’s” do. At what point do we say enough is enough.
Finally, the constitution comes from the future and was written as such looking forward to preserve the essence of our Declaration of Independence. As Thanksgiving approaches, please stop this guy from treating it as an archaic document to be eroded away into nothing. He must be stopped!

@"Someone working minimum wage for 30 years can put enough away during that time period to at least pay for 1 year’s living expenses."

What planet do you live on?

Minimum wage has always been WAY below the poverty level in America.

Do you realize 99ers started running out of benefits almost a year ago?

Do you realize many have been out of work for well over three years?

Do you realize most Americans live paycheck to paycheck?
