Last week the Labor Department reported the nation’s unemployment rate jumped to 6.5% in October and this morning weekly jobless claims spiked to the highest level since September 2001.
With layout headlines coming fast and furious, we want to know, are you afraid of losing your job?
Pretty sure some laws were broken in the midst of the economic crisis and the bail out. What I want to see are some proper investiigations of the who what when where and how followed by some heads on a plate in federal district court. There is no way we(I say that loosely)got ourselves in this big a hole without some in propriety, so where are the heads? I live in a small town and you can bet if I had a small business going under the ywouldnt bail me out, I would go bankkrupt and fall flat and have to start all over again. We do need change, at the ballott box. We had good candidates on both sides and between the special interest and the Media, we ended up voting for the Evil of two lessers once again.
Am I afraid of losing my job? To a certain point I am, but I'm not letting it consume me. What worries me more is hearing people say that we're headed for another "Great Depression"
Unlike most people, I decided to do some research our economy. Our government has had to do a so-called "bail-out" numerous times dating back to the 1800's even. Guess what? It obviously worked. This isn't the first time the government has had to shore up the economy and it won't be the last.
I do, however, feel that Obama's tax plans will have a negative impact on the economy. But, I believe in Capitalism and it will still work out as it always has. Don't worry folks.....it'll be a tough road, but it will get better. The Dems will not reach 60 and we'll be safe.
Oh, and I agree with Paul. Amen to that!
I think it is funny how some of the people that have responded to the question with "oh I work for the government, I have nothing to worry about." Well if the tax payers are out of work and there is no money coming in for your budget, guess what dip-shit, you will be in the bread line with the rest of us. I honestly try not to think of the future to much, to depressing. 401k getting more worthless by the day, along with my kids 529 college plan, personal stocks (can't sell without taking a loss), my 500k home is now basically worthless because no one can get financing to purchase it. My IT job slowly being outsourced to people in India that will work for pennies on the dollar. Then to add insult to injury I get the India people calling to ask why I am late on a payment. At what point will the middle class people of this country realize that we have all been sold out! The corrupt individuals in Washington and at the state level have been lining their pockets with our money for years with crooked legislation and taxes on everything, and now that the wheel has fallen off the bus the only solution that they can come up with is going to be more taxes on the very people that they have already ruined. Where is my bailout package? What form do I need to fill out to get a bailout package? I can't even plan on getting a job at Mcdonalds because all the illegal aliens that our government didn't want to deal with have those already!!! Well I guess it won't be long before we will be sneaking across the border into Mexico, I hear there is a labor shortage down there.
