On average, it takes 20 weeks to land a new job (from when one lost their job), such that almost guaranteed is fact that all workers will exhaust their UE benefits UNLESS of course future job creation and high school academic and vocational/tech curriculums (beyond/in addition to the core classics) are devoted to and focused upon innovative, forward thinking jobs that matter, not just government jobs that are immaterial to the long-term e.g. competition on a global level. Digging this country further into mind blowing debt(no matter the path that got us to this point) is at no different than insanity e.g. continuing to do the same thing, repeatedly, when it is guaranteed to cause injury. It looks like the WH and those on the The Hill suffer from loathing this country at times, as some form of "payback" or I told you so as to laissez- faire, free market capitalism. Other alternative policy choices and decisions, also put forward, are dismissed without debate, regardless of the theatre presented to the public.

Regardless of the argument that UE is not a wise idea (that is by Judd Gregg Libera Republicans), the fact is that no new jobs are being added to the system. I belive what is going down has more to do with policy and social engineering, and that they are perfectly happy taking a large segment of the population now from the work force,particularly those in late 40's, 50s, and 60s ( even if they don't want to retire)hoping they will take early SSA or disability benefits. It is clear social engineering. The trick is to not get caught in the game, or if you are, to figure out a way to live off the land and find back issues from late 1960s and 1970s of Mother Jones (the orignal issues that showed on how to live off the land and survive).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-24397734710498669222010-03-09T16:32:42.416-05:002010-03-09T16:32:42.416-05:00Legislation to give additional months of unemploym...Legislation to give additional months of unemployment benefits to people who have been out of a job for more than half a year has won key GOP support that means it will soon pass the Senate.<br /><br />The sweeping bill also would prevent doctors from absorbing a crippling cut in Medicare payments and extends health insurance subsidies for the unemployed through December.<br /><br />Eight Republicans voted with Democrats to defeat a GOP filibuster of the measure, setting up a final vote later today.<br /><br />The bill also extends a variety of tax breaks for businesses and individuals that are popular with senators in both parties.<br /><br />The $66 billion cost of providing the extended unemployment checks is added directly to a budget deficit expected to hit $1.6 trillion this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-54475548990971743272010-03-09T15:18:02.680-05:002010-03-09T15:18:02.680-05:00Although the availability of long-term unemploymen...Although the availability of long-term unemployment benefits "could dampen people's efforts to look for work," the Congressional Budget Office said in a February report, that concern "is less of a factor when employment opportunities are expected to be limited for some time." <br /><br />The report went on to say that people receiving unemployment benefits tend to plow the money right back into the economy, making them "both timely and cost-effective in spurring economic activity and employment." <br /><br />Today, the unemployed confront a changing workplace. The Obama administration has tried to address that by investing heavily in education, clean energy and scientific research, which officials say will create the jobs of the future. But that takes time, and jobs are being lost faster than new kinds can be created. That places unprecedented pressure on a program created to provide short-term relief while people waited for jobs to return. <br /><br />"It is appropriate and natural for Congress to extend the time limit of unemployment insurance with the job market as bad as it is," said James Sherk, a labor economist at the Heritage Foundation. "But by quadrupling it, it is no longer an unemployment insurance program but a welfare program." <br /><br />Phillip L. Swagel, a former Treasury Department official who is now a business professor at Georgetown University, said that some people might take longer to find a new job as a result of unemployment insurance extensions, but that right now it's a needed benefit. <br /><br />"The reality is that it's hard to find a job even for people who really want one," he said. <br /><br />But as the job market improves, Swagel said, unemployment insurance extensions must be pared back quickly, as they have been in previous downturns. "It's important to let the extensions lapse as the job market recovers -- to avoid having disincentives to work once the job market is better," Swagel said. <br /><br />Jeffrey Carlson of Grand Rapids, Mich., a former insurance salesman and father of six, says he is motivated to find work, despite the $1,650 a month he collects in unemployment benefits. That money does not go far given his rent, child support, utilities and credit card bills. Carlson, 44, said he has applied for numerous jobs with no luck and has spent $40,000 in savings. <br /><br />Carlson, who made $50,000 a year before he was laid off, said watching Bunning and other senators debate whether to extend unemployment benefits was painful and infuriating. <br /><br />"I paid into the system for 25 years and now I need it," he said. "People are being put through the emotional heartache and anxiety of not knowing if it's going to keep coming. There are too many people who need it and are depending on it."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-68491480524333031772010-03-09T13:22:26.621-05:002010-03-09T13:22:26.621-05:00Millions of Americans have been forced to rely on ...Millions of Americans have been forced to rely on unemployment payments for extended periods as the nation struggles through its longest period of high joblessness in a generation, and critics are taking aim, saying that the Depression-era program created as a temporary bridge for laid-off workers is turning into an expensive entitlement. <br /><br />About 11.4 million out-of-work people now collect unemployment compensation, at a cost of $10 billion a month. Half of them have been receiving payments for more than six months, the usual insurance limit. But under multiple extensions enacted by the federal government in response to the downturn, workers can collect the payments for as long as 99 weeks in states with the highest unemployment rates -- the longest period since the program's inception. <br /><br />The unemployed say extensions help to tide them over in unusually difficult times when jobs are hard to come by. Although unemployment held steady at 9.7 percent in February, millions of jobs have been lost in the downturn, particularly in the hardest-hit sectors including real estate, construction, manufacturing and financial services. Those jobs are unlikely to return even when the economy recovers, many experts say. <br /><br />But complaints that extending unemployment payments discourages job-seeking have begun to bubble into the political debate. Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) recently single-handedly held up the latest extension, a bill to keep unemployment benefits in place for 30 more days, saying Congress should find other cuts to cover its $10 billion price tag. <br /><br />Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) did not join Bunning's effort, but he defended his colleague's point of view. Kyl told the Senate he questioned why anyone would see unemployment benefits as helpful to the economy, or to the job market. <br /><br />"If anything, continuing to pay people unemployment compensation is a disincentive for them to seek new work," Kyl said. "I am sure most of them would like work and probably have tried to seek it, but you can't argue it is a job enhancer."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-47088321186567638222010-03-09T10:56:16.154-05:002010-03-09T10:56:16.154-05:00Where are the jobs?
