This will be my last (hopefully) unemployment rant...
Okay, so I lost my job a year and a half ago because of the economy. I think that most of us would agree that it was LARGELY the fault of the banks that gave out money to anyone and everyone and paid themselves with HUGE bonuses that caused the most damage and little businesses like my sweet little bookstore paid the price.
So, fast forward to today where there is a large percentage of the American public unemployed and unable to find jobs - through NO FAULT of our own - and we are being told that our extended benefits are no longer coming. Gee, so maybe we should bend over AGAIN and take it for the sake of the banks and government. I mean, the banks got bailed out. Executives are still getting their bonuses and people like me, essentially, are screwed.
I am over-qualified for the places that are hiring and don't have the computer skills for others that are. So basically, I am un-employable at the moment and while the bank executives got to keep their jobs and their salaries, I have nothing.
So congress and all of the politicians who HAVE JOBS get to tell me, "Sorry, even though we screwed up you have to pay the price".
Thanks. Thanks a whole lot...

I agree! Even those of us that still have jobs had to take cuts in pay and cuts in benefits. We are also seeing executives getting the big bonuses while being told we must take mandatory time off to hep the company through these hard times, give me a break!
SIGH! It's a sad situation. In addition to that, what burns me is the increased cost and expense of EVERYTHING! I totally understand the overqualified, etc. I also hope it's your last unemployment vent 'cause something has to give soon.... uh, right?
