I Just Don’t Understand
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!
I must say (although I don’t believe that my saying this matters for a damn) that I am outraged at the Republican Senate (and frankly the Senate as a whole) I am 52 years old, I have been paying my taxes, and UNEMPLOYMENT surcharges since I was 16. Now by virtue of this wonderful economy I have lost in the last year and a half, my house, my marriage and any semblance of self-respect I ever had.
I just don’t understand; my benefits ran out on September 21st; I have no money, no job, no food…..no nothing. At least with the lousy pittance unemployment provided, I could almost survive…not have a life of course…but survive. Thank God I have no children to feed…I’d be out robbing banks.
I too have found myself in the “remarkably overqualified” world of no hire. I too have applied for any job out there including McDonalds, Wa-Wa, Target, Wal-Mart ect. They just don’t hire the temporarily jobless.
I just don’t understand.
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.
