Unemployed and Trying Stories; To the Senate…
November 4, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized
We would like to thank you all for your unemployed and trying stories. We encourage you to send us emails with your stories! Please vote on the Unemployment Benefits Extension poll as well!
- Job growth is expected to lag well into 2010 – early 2011, and some predict that we won’t see normal levels of unemployment until 2012.
The predictions for holiday spending thus far are not good. If Congress does not extend unemployment benefits, the prognosis will be most definitely worsen.
Everyone agrees that extending benefits means pumping money into our fragile economy.
While people continue to suffer, it’s business as usual at the Capitol. While billions of dollars flow into Iraq, millions of Americans suffer (don’t get me started on health care reform).
Well, time for me to go shopping. My family of 4 is running low on peanut butter and jelly… this is what we live on now-a-days.
- To the Senate,
I am staving out here. My rent is due. I am going to a food bank to put food on the table. All my bills are due, electricity, health insurance ($535.00 per month), car payment, telephone payment, back payment of taxes, etc.. Should I go on? I have been out of work for (3) years. All my savings have been depleted.
My family have been laid off. We are all suffering. I do not know how I will get by without the extended UI. We American can not survive without some funds coming in, even though it will not be enough to meet all of my expenses. It will keep shelter over my head.
Please pass the extended UI. HELP ME! - Come on GOP do u really know whats it like to not have the bill passed ASAP, It’s a good thing
that our current President Barack Obama is a “CHRISTIAN” and know what the amercian people are
going thru, so of you have had everything in your life giving to you even the current position you hold
at the White House..I have worked since I was 14 years old and currently have a son in college that I need
to pay the balance of his tuition by 11/10/09, my mortgage is due and all my utilities bills…Let get
this done please show some “URGENCY” for those who continue to put you in office “GOP” but looks
like how quick some of you forget your “REAL” purpose in the first place. PLEASE PASS THIS BILL ASAP…
UPDATE: We have had an amazing response to this issue! If you would like to write an article to those in Washington as to why YOU think unemployment benefits should be extended please email them to jwojdylo@subprimeblogger.com. If your article is free of profanity and any direct insults we will be more than happy to post it here on Unemployed and Trying so you can send the link to anyone you choose.
