I don't understand this, after all the Senate did to delay the passage of this bill.

I live in NYC- NYS is one of the high Unemployment States.

My last extension benefits ran out on 10/4/09, Those were from our Gov., Gov. David Paterson from May-Oct.

People in NYC and all over the State are freaking out and trying to understand how this Bill will personally apply to them and their individual claims, etc.

[...] [...]

It's a glitch….you will and receive up to 14 weeks of additional unemployment…but the additional “high unemployment” six weeks CAN'T be received…by anybody….because they would have to start by 12/31/09
since there are only 8 weeks left this year….that's not possible….

so pretty much every state will receive 14 weeks….because no jobs are coming….

but since unemployment is going to be a huge problem for a while…possibly several years….it is unlikely that democratic controlled washington will not keep adding more extensions….

unless the repulicans take congress in november of '10…and let the public rot while giving tax loopholes to those making 5 million or more a year (like they did from 2001-2007….and pretty much every year since jimmy carter)

Dont you think they will straighten out and fix this glitch by the time people have exausted the 14 weeks? I would think so.

I would hope so, Matt. But if you'll notice, ALL Tiers expire on 12/31. Those who exhaust the very first federal extension the first week of January will be getting NOTHING!

well i kive in oklahoma an ive been trying for 2 days to get my extention filed an the people at the unemployment office keeps trying to say that all states does not qualify i even had the senators office call them

yes an thats not rite but i live in okla an we get 14 weeks i am happy for even that but the crazy ppl in the unemployment office wont let anyone in okla file they try to say it has to be passed again which is not true

This is why only one in four people approve of Congress.

Holy CRAP! Why wasn't this extension done with a DATE!?! They could have at least put this one in to be valid through June of 2010. But NO…they decided to leave out that little problem.

Now they are so focused on a STUPID health care reform bill, that they will let people STARVE to death, who can't get a job. I am sorry, but I can always get Medicaid if I need to…I CAN'T get a job, so I need help to PAY THE BILLS!

Come on Congress…get your stinking act together, and pass this bill IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Umm Ryan question for you. Between 2001 and 2007 was the unemployment ever this high? No it wasnt. That is because by having tax cuts for the rich actually helps the middle class and lower class. They will hire people for work. With the Democrats crazy idea of raising taxes on the rich what do think they will do? They didnt get rich because there stupid. If the govt. is going to take more of there money they just downsize by getting rid of workers to make up for the money there losing in higher taxes

I read about this glitch before they passed the extension of jobless benefits. This was a well known fact. So why did they pass it without the date qualification information is beyond me. Maybe the republicans were so worried about getting the Acorn ammendments in the bill and Jon Kyl stated no one was running out of benefits. The Democrats knew this was a issue also – maybe they just wanted to pass it because the Republicans were giving they so much grief – and I heard they would pass the date qualification at a later date. I never in my life have seen a party as anti-middle-class as the current Republican party in my 60 plus years of life.I still remember my Grandfather telling me the Republicans were a party for the rich and the Democrats were a party that supported the middle class. That has not changed.

Isn't this incredible? It's no wonder people become cynical about their government. First the unemployment extension bill gets passed in a form that cannot be implemented,and then a health care bill gets passed with an impotent public option,and an amendment eliminating women from being able to receive proper care. Hopefully folks will find work somehow and this 'glitch', whether planned or unplanned,will be mute. Otherwise we may be in for another feet dragging display by the republicans in Congress to change that Jan.1st cutoff for filing. Should add just the level of stress and depression we all need in order to really enjoy the upcoming holidays with our loved ones. And as far as shopping for gifts,etc. this year? Well with Jan.1st hanging over our heads,forget it. That should go far to stimulate the economy in the most critical time of the year.

well i live in oklahoma and they wont even let us file for our extention they keep giving us the run around saying it doesnt apply for oklahoma i called the senates office they said it applies to all 50 states at least the 14 weeks an 27 states get 20 weeks which is understandable but why are they telling us at the unemployment office we can not file someone needs to be making calls to every state so they will understand we do get the 14 weeks i can not convince them so i am back to square one poor again

what state do you live in? Have they let you file for your extension yet ? I live in okla and they wont even let us file for ours yet their saying we dont qualify in okla i called the senate an they say every state gets at least the 14 weeks so what do we do we are back to square 1 poor

I just learned something disturbing…

The way HR3548 was worded, the new Tier 3 (the one all states get) is only THIRTEEN weeks long!

What it did was extend the previous Tier 2 from 13 weeks to 14 weeks.

No one seems to be able to answer the question “Will I get that extra week of Tier 2 if I've previously exhausted it?”

whats crazy and sad is that you say all of that like its right! How is it ok for the rich to cut people off from working and feeding their families because they are being taxed no where near enough to make a real dent in their wallets? the economy now is a direct result of the rich getting richer while the poor break their backs daily for pennies. When they realize that we have no money to be the consumers they need to keep their bank accounts fat then maybe you and the rest will get it.

This should be a seperate extension. Once you have exhausted tier 2, you shoulf be eligible for tier 3. California had a 20 week tier 3, now there is a tier 4, this recent legislation allowing 20 more weeks. Check with nelp.org to make sure on your state. Good luck

What in the hell does this have to do with the unemployment decision. Sounds like you want some of that unemployment cash, jack.

They have 14 to 20 weeks to look for employment. Plenty of time to pound the pavement and update resumes. Your right, the rich are usually the ones that are the employers providing the jobs. The way the dems are doing it, tax and spend libs. I think 2010 and 2012 will likely be a more conservative election.

It means you need to pound the pavement a little harder. Most of the rich worked their asses off for what they have. We definitely do not want socialism, like this demented health care package. You think you are poor now, just wait till Obbaaaaamaa care kicks in. There are no guarantees in life, work hard and earn it.

You wish. But we will NOT forget how republicans dragged their asses on extending benefits. Please go back to your ivory tower.

[...] However, because the Senate took so long to act on the bill, the law as it is written makes it logically impossible for unemployed workers in high-unemployment states to file for the extra 6 week…. [...]

Seriously? You guys are going to debate this point as if it really is this “black and white” (not a race related phrase, so don't even think about bringing that into it). If it were so easy to fix our nation's problems according to the beliefs of “larrybmclemore” and “conservative895″ don't you think it would have already been done? Obviously, our current state of affairs doesn't bode well for anyone really. Don't believe me? Pick an angle and analyze it… go ahead and really ponder it (for a moment put aside your beloved political party's views and pretend to be wholly human) from the poorest of the poor (the state this conservative voter is currently in regardless of pavement pounding and the worn out shoes it's produced) to the richest of the rich (who are obviously going to feel the impact of less spending by us apparant peons, newly made or chronic cases.) If, after you've taken the time to really examine and, hopefully, even visualize yourself in every tax bracket (for extra credit: do both the high and the low ends of each)… if, after that, you still believe you have ALL the answers then let this floundering nation know. Run for office – governor, senate, president – if there's an opening by all means run. Please, do it now! You've got my vote. For what it's worth, just know that I'm not holding my breath.

I suspect that you're confusing the recently passed Tier 3 with the Emergency Benefits bill that was passed earlier this year.

Here are the extensions as they exist so far:

1) Federal Tier 1 – 13 weeks all states
2) Federal Tier 2 – 14 weeks all states
3) “State” Emergency Benefit – length determined by unemployment rate
4) Federal Tier 3 – 13 weeks – all states
5) Federal Tier 4 – 6 weeks – states with 8.5% unemployment only

Here's how you can tell whether you're on the Federal Tiers or the extension given to the individual states: Tiers 1 & 2 do not require that you specify where you applied during the benefit weeks. State managed Emergency Benefits do require that you report this.

I believe they purposely left the date out so that way it would be easier for them to argue that they absolutely need the dec. 31 deadline to be extended all the way through 2010, gives them a reason to bring it up. Hmmm…. you think their that smart I would have done that. This would give everyone the benefit of the doubt to be able to claim all of the benefits that we all deserve, not just the select few it just would'nt be fair.

Bureaucratic redtape

i think they stiffed every state because oklahoma will not let us file for the extension they are trying to say oklahoma does not qualify for even the 14 weeks someone needs to get the rite people in the state offices

ive ran outta of paper to write down where i have applied

what do you mean you have to show where u applied i call my local office to apply

I did my filing online. When done this way, the form has lines dedicated to entering this information. When the filing is done over the phone, the person taking your claim will ask where you've applied.

This stage applies only during the state Emergency Benefits period. It does not apply during the initial federal extensions period, and it may not apply during the first 26 weeks of your state's unemployment period (this would depend upon the state's requirements)

This is ridiculous! Maybe one of our brilliant senators could introduce a simple “fix the stupid glitch” bill (with NO political add-ons for once)…

Hi all, I see we are all here again. This is crazy. I just spoke with two different UC service representatives here in PA and was told the following. Because of the date the bill was finally passed and the deadline of December 2009. PA residents will be eligible for either 8 or 13 weeks no more. The next representative said no 14 or 20 weeks is what you will receive because they are working to fix the “language”. In addition the first filing weeks for the extension are the 14th if you HAVE NOT exhausted your benefits and the 21st if you HAVE exhausted your benefits.

So long story short, the hold up in the Senate was crazy because the original bill is what we got. They screwed us over and they don't give a damn.

Lets put pressure on our congress to work on this situation before another life changing delay happens again. Hopefully most of us wil be able to find employment before then but we still need to help those who will not be employed.

My best wishes for all of us, I think I am going to take the first couple of checks and buy a product that seems to be doing really well in this stressed out economy. LOL just kidding but if I were not afraid to go to jail and ruin what this economy has left of my life i would buy marijuana and sell, sell, sell.

Just found out that since I exhausted my benefits on Sept 19, I will not be paid for those weeks from then to November 6th. That means my landlord will now start the eviction process.

Thanks for considering my situation when you drafted this bill. How many others are in the same boat and were waiting for the back payments?

Nice work.

Got to love it. Delay, delay, delay. Like I said before, pound the pavement. Look harder for that job. Get off your big fat rear and do something.

Big Daddy

Thanks, Glad you liked it. Now get to it jack.

It's time to get to work. Pound, pound, pound. The farming industry is looking for field workers.

BIG JOHNSON

My Bentley and Ivory tower.

BIG JOHNSON

Quit your whining. You sound like a little donkey that needs new hoofs. If you really want a job, you could probably find one. You just want that free entitlement program. Go GOP

BIG DADDY JOHNSON

I think its great. Keep the glitch in the system. Delay, delay, delay. This is all designed to motivate your lazy big rears off the couch. Time to pound the pavement and find that job.

BIG DADDY JOHNSON

Congress is my hero. Time to send more troops to the middle east. Got to keep the war going. We should just nuke em and take all their oil. After that, we could sit around a big bonfire on the beach and sing kumbya. Make sure you bring your big peace sign with you. Now pound the pavement and get that peace loving job.

BIG DADDY JOHNSON

You bet! I am all over pounding the pavement and knocking on doors.

By the way, where do you work? I want to be sure to stop by your boss' office and tell them how I can out perform you; your competence lacking. Then you can field the “Get a Job” slights and go compete with the local immigrant, Jose, for the fry guy job at McD's.

In fact, all employers should re-evaluate your current employees; you need to upgrade.

Everyone can thank Conservative895.

Ask Karen1905. You might be better off going over seas and applying
for that job. India is looking for competitive employees like yourself.
Just make sure you bring the appropriate attire. I am the boss and Juan is one of my supervisors. Is Jose looking for a job?

BIG DADDY JOHNSON

Cant our government get anything right. First we had to wait, worry, and lose everything we have ever worked for and now we have to keep worrying. I wont be able to get a check in my hand to catch up on my bill until mid-December and that going to come too late for most of my bills. Kentucky unemployment offices still haven't heard anything and don't know anything about the new extension so I dont even know when I will be able to start claiming weeks. I'm so tired of this strugle.

Get off! The people you are putting down on this web site have worked their entire lives and lost most of it due to events that are not their fault. Who are you to assssssssssssume we are want a free hand out. There are other blogs so go harrass them.

Sorry, I guess it did sound like I would compete for your job. There really is no competition. With my MBA and knowledge of most industries, through market structure, and the fact that I personaly am acquainted with many CEO's and CIO's across the country, I can out postion and out sell any product to any company. That puts me well over any employee currently holding your position.

So, just mention the name; give me a hint as to who your employer is and I will proceed. Heck, I will even do the job for half of what they pay you. Think they'll bite?

[...] next year — both to acknowledge a jobless rate that’s topped 10 percent, and to fix a filing deadline glitch that will prevent those in high-unemployment states from getting the full 20-week extension [...]

Where all the ***DAMN jobs your talking about! They sure aren't in Kentucky so shut the hell up untill you KNOW what your talking about. I forced over 750 resumes on employers just incase they start hiring so stop your accusations and go play another game. People are already depressed and you may just sent them over the edge MISTER!

was it just for ur extention or is this ur first time filing because when i first filed i had to give them places an what kind of work i was looking for well good luck with it we need it

Conservative895:

I know you get enjoyment out of being here and trying to stir it up. But I have only seen one post by you that even gave an inkling you were sub-human, stop repeating youself. be constructive and who knows maybe you can carry on a normal chat here. Good luck on your job hunt. I hear tier V is coming also, maybe we can slip a another amendment in so we can give the lettuce pickers amnesty. I prefer to pick strawberrys and maybe I can work my way up pickin' them goddamn bananas “SON OF A BITCH” I am going to military school with the “THAT FINKLESTEIN SHITKID”

You are hilarious man. My job is saving lives that this war creates. I want my job to be something like advancing technology to further benefit mankind, but unfortunately, there is such a big market for saving lives right now.

Or maybe you think that when will kill all of the Muslims, your God will atone you for all of your sins. Well I got news for you man, the only time you have to make an impression is now, and you don't want to die with everyone thinking you are an asshole.

If everyone ignores Conservative895 he will go back to pounding the pavement if you let him get to you it will just give him more satisfaction ..BTW I have reported him to the website master….goodbye Conservative895 go play somewhere else lay off the booze you are done the law will deal with you now. don't play in cyberspace….

I became unemployed in Jan '08. I received unemployment benefits every week, but it wasn't until April of this year that I had to include this extra information on the claim form.

Wow…you sound like an informed person. I am REPUBLICAN you little sniveling pea head. I live in a 75% republican state. Sorry, but the job losses don't just hit one party. They hit all parties. So, step away from your daddy's keyboard and realize this is bigger than an internet chat board. It must be nice to have a BMW and own your own business where you can use the recession to lay people off, and keep all the money for yourself. You insignificant little piss ant. The problem is related to the DEMOCRATS who wrote the bill and didn't include a DATE. You probably have a big 4×4 don't you…are you trying to make up because you have other things that are small?

Dearest 895: didnt we ask u to drop dead three weeks ago why r u still slithering around like a cobra snake waiting to hurt people? Go get a f***** job yourself and leave us alone. other wise someone will find out where u are and kick your gop ass. wouldnt it be great if it was a democratic liberal woman that did it?Believe me i probably could, we have enough to worry about without you on here!!! now once again very nicely could u please please please drop dead? love angie

Go ahead and report. If you can't handle opinions you don't agree with, you better find a different blog. I honestly think some people really need this extension, but they a running it like a welfare system. There should be better checks and balances, just like welfare. Good luck in the job search.

Conservative895:

Well said

but most of us do need the ext. but to put people down is not right. We are all trying because the one's that are not trying would not be here. They would just be waiting for the mailman. Just watch your comments and dont be a hater no one needs the last word….just learn to get along. It will all get better.

and BTW it is not a welfare system, we are the people that put most of our lives into our careers and were left out in the cold. and not to try to push your button but if they didnt give all those loopholes to the big CEO's in the past we would have good jobs. Why are all the rich trying to line their pockets off the sacrifice of the poor and middle class?…BTW some of my past posts to you on the other blogs were deleted and some of yours may have been also….Dont try to stir it up…keep it positive no matter what your belief is ….and also none of us have any idea when our benefits will come ….thanks to political redtape.

Please end the durogatory comments

Wow I am scared, look I don't know or care why you continue to try to provoke people. If you are a police officer, as many of my family are, be careful out there times are desperate and people do not respect authority like they used to. If you are a person who just wants to scare me, I live in a time where the only thing that truly scares me is the economic recovery before me. So put cuffs on me LOL, drug dealers skate in and out of the penal system with ease, Look I will sell you at this point at a loss of course but you are an expendable product.

Oklahoma jobless compensation extended by new law
Oklahoma Employment Security Commission will mail forms
BY DEBBIE BLOSSOM Comments 0
Published: November 11, 2009

About 7,000 Oklahomans whose jobless benefits have ended are expected to be eligible for extended unemployment compensation under federal legislation that went into effect Sunday.

People filing for unemployment are first eligible for up to 26 weeks of regular state benefits from the OESC, and once these regular benefits are finished, they can receive federal extended unemployment benefits, known as EUC Tier 1, for up to 20 additional weeks. When all eligible Tier 1 payments are collected, an application can be submitted for Tier 2 benefits for a maximum of 14 weeks. After that time, Tier 3 is available for expanded unemployment benefits up to 13 weeks.

The Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009 changes the maximum number of weeks that a person can collect Emergency Unemployment Compensation Tier 2 benefits from 13 weeks to 14 weeks, and creates Tier 3 benefits for those who use up Tier 2 claims.

“This is really good news for a lot of people,” said Oklahoma Employment Security Commission spokesman John Carpenter.

The commission will mail all current and former Tier 2 claimants a determination informing them of eligibility and instructions for filing. Someone who has been paid the final week of Tier 2 benefits will then be able to apply for Tier 3, Carpenter said.

All Tier 3 claims will be backdated so that those eligible will receive benefits for all weeks in which they were entitled, said Jerry Pectol, the commission’s director of unemployment insurance. Filing instructions will be mailed to addresses on record, so it’s critical for those filing to make sure the agency has a current address, he said.

“This extension will help quite a few Oklahomans,” Pectol said.

“We ask that our claimants be patient as we implement these changes. We want to assure them that everyone will receive all of the benefits for which they are eligible.”

The state has been paying out record amounts of benefits this year, Carpenter said, and while the number of new applicants has dropped a bit in the past couple of months, there has been a rise in those receiving extended benefits.

“That number just keeps going up and up,” indicating that more and more people are going through the system “and are not able to find a job,” he said. “It’s brutal out there

Maybe the first thing you have written I agree with. I have been actively seeking employment for a long time now and I blame myself aloy for my current situation. When my company first closed I admit I did not worry, i had always worked had been with my previous employer for 10+ years, had savings a 401K, managed my finances quite well and thought, I will get another job.

Flash forward I am in a panic and think to myself what could I have done differently. I do not agree with UC being compared to welfare but the way they are handling it makes me feel like I am on welfare. Sure there may be people who are taking advantage of the current situation but there are people who would rather be employed and active and secure in contributing to their survival.

For anyone taking advantage of any situation whether welfare or UC remember karma is a B*&^$. For those of us who really need help just keep searching. I know it is depressing and frustrating but those before us have gone through it and survived and we will to. We will carry the scars but we will be survive.

By the way for all the negative and disrespectful entries this person makes towards me and all of you karma will meet him also. He is a case study on racist behavior, to take the actions of a few and then formulate a perspective that applies to all.

For anyone who comes to this site or any other site to post negative and derogatory remarks about the UC extension just stop. We already are in a state of depression we do not need oppression on top of it.

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Not a police officer, but a real jackass. Karma has already made it my way, all my life. Oh well. Good Luck

It's obvious that Conservative895 is an older, retired person–just look at his signoff “Big Daddy Johnson”–no younger conservative person would come up with that one, as it evidences at SOME knowledge of history.

Today's young conservatives have been heavily ideologized in a bell jar, a prime reason why many are abandoning folks like Conservative895, whose schtick doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense against their own experiences.

Hint.

Kudos to those of you who thought he had a job and tried to snatch it out from under him. Give a conservative a dose of his own medicine–ooooh how they squawk.

How's that social security welfare check? Ima take that, too. Better go out voting Dem.

Cheers, kiddies.

Lol, We will see who squawks the loudest next election. You can wash and wax my Bentley for a decent wage. Have a great day. P>S. Stock up on the depends by 2012.

You need to get a life!! You have been on this website for weeks now throwing rude coments around. I don't think you have a JOB! Or you wouldn't have so much time to be such an Asshole!

Yet another example of how our so-called elected representatives are NOT the voice of the taxpayer. This Bill should have been passed immediately after passage in the House in the middle of September. After weeks of stall tactics by the GOP, the Senate Republicans used this Bill as a vehicle to get the first time home buyer extension bill extended and a varry back tax credit for business. Guess who gets the short end of the deal-the unemployed! It will be a major feat for many States to get this money out to the unemployed by December. This Thanksgiving, the unemployed in America don't have much to be thankful for, as many will not have the jobless extension benefits money in hand and therefore not be able to provide food and major necessities for their families. A very sad commentary on our politicians and the political system as a whole.

You and your kind will be history in 2012 as the bloated, corrupt political machine is due for a major makeover! Watch for it!

I was thinking. Since the Republicans are always shouting to lower taxes,how about starting with the unemployed. President Obama sighted extending unemployment benefits AND suspending the income tax on those benefits as a part of his platform during his run to the white house. Of course this got watered down to a $2500.00 tax deduction once it hit the senate floor. Since a bill was passed to extend benefits that could not be fully implemented,and another bill is eminent, wouldn't this be an appropriate time to reintroduce that idea,and eliminate what is essentially a double tax, for the 2009 income tax season that will be burdening the hardest hit victims of this economic disaster come April 15th?

The Republicans are like used car salesman they drag their feet and then make you think they are doing right by you.

You got that right

Ok, I'll watch and wait. We are now experiencing the bloated, corrupt political machine. I might have to get a new pair of binoculars.

Big Daddy Johnson

A job, what's that? A asshole, what's that? There only rude comments if a Republican says them. Too much time on my hands, it's howdy doody time.

Big Daddy Johnson

Were all counting on you, good luck. There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall and the bells in the steeple too. And up in the nursery an absurd little bird Is popping out to say cook-coo cook-coo, cook-coo Regretfully they tell us cook-coo But firmly they compel us cook-coo To say goodbye cook-coo… To you…

So long farewell, auf weidersehen good-bye, I hate to go and leave this pretty sight. So long farewell, auf weidersehen adieu Freidrich Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you.

So long farewell, au revior auf weidersehen. I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne. This sounds like the dems are riding out on their horses. So long, farewell, good night in 2012. Adios boys, Big Daddy Johnson

Get off what? Harass who? I have opinions just like you sister and I hope these people find gainful employment. The only thing I asssssssssssssssssume is that I hope you find a job. So tata for now.

Big Daddy Johnson

Unbelievable. First they held up the Bill for almost 2 months and then pass a bill that in effect does nothing to assist the unemployed. It is becoming increasingly clear that our so-called elected representatives and voice do not care about the American citizen. Nor do they really even have a clue as to what they are doing. Good to know that the Corporate cheats will be able to carry on with the carry back provision and get a nice big payout form the US Treasury and yet can't pass a Bill to truely assist the unemployed. Only in America!

If you don't like this country, go to Mexico.

The GOP or commonly known as the “Party of NO” will be saying bye-bye to their cushy jobs as there will be a viral purge in 2010. Don't let the door hit you on your way out…

Any Kentuckians know when to expect our letters for unemployment? I read that we should be able to file for our first check on the 23rd of this month. Is this correct?

I think creating a new body of forces that will optimized the job creation in thispart of our nation.

To the Okies on the site:

I don't know if this will help, or if you've already done it, but I'd advise you to call your U.S. Senators and Congresspeople. Let them know about this problem and ask them how you can receive the benefits. These folks work for you. It's their job to solve these kind of problems.

Good luck! I hope everything works out for the folks in the land of Will Rogers!

DONT LISTEN TO THE GUY WHO WROTE THIS ARTICLE. for whatever reason, there are people out there who crave attention, and have stupid desires to cause panic…perhaps this is his way of getting it. nothing is going to prevent the 14 weeks, and 20 week extension from being available to all states. there are hundreds of members of congress…they've argued this out & thought about it from a sufficient number of angles. so, keep on pluggin away, looking for those jobs-yet rest assured u have at least a 14-20 week safety net. and, i am sure if the job market doesnt improve…before this extension is over, or soon after-there will be another extension bill on the presidents desk. i would urge people to cut back everywhere they can…instead of that cheap spaghetti, go with ramen noodles…things like that, this is the time to eliminate snacks & seriously cut back on the amounts of meats you eat…etc, etc, etc, etc…AND WHEN YOU DO GO BACK TO WORK, STOP SHOPPING AT WAL-MART!!!! LOOK FOR MADE IN AMERICA…COSTS MORE, BUT IT HELPS TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY STRONG, OR FROM GETTING WEAKER RATHER.

Filed for tier iv ext on nov 25th in ky, and office states payment system is still not set up ,have to wait for letter,(LIKE WAITING FOR A SNALE TO CROSS THE ROAD) then after you loose your home, they will tell you “help” is on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will let you know if i hear any news !

I really thought you would have laid off the “crack” by now. But go ahead, smoke some more, apparently is not going to hurt you at this point, you seem to be pretty far gone already. Feel bad for ya, wish you could get some help.

Hey, there is one good thing about 895, you don't have to type all day to describe the guy. Just key in one word “SAD” “S”orry “A”ss “D”og

Don't feel bad big boy. I just got my first welfare entitlement check. I wish food stamps and a medical package came with it, oh well. Did you see me on tv crashing that party? I'll be on the late show doing a interview. Have a great day. Make sure you up your dosage of Diprivan. Have a wonderful
day. Big Daddy Johnson

DEAR 895: STOP BRAGGING AND THAK GOD YOU GOT YOURS I DONT KNOW WHAT STATE YOUR IN BUT IT MOVES FAST ITS ONLY 4 WEEKS AFTER THE PRESIDENT SIGNED IT…. HERE IN FLORIDA WE HAVNT RECEIVED ANYTHING NOT A LETTER NOT A APPLICATION ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND WHEN WE CALL THEY SAY A FEW MORE WEEKS WHICH THEN WILL BE AFTER DEC 27TH DEADLINE SO ALL YOUR BITCHIN AT US AND LOOK WHO GOT THEIR CHECK BEFORE US YU SOULD BE THANKFUL

I really wonder what your up bringing was like, you come across as a real “SICK B…H” . You must of been one S.O.B of a brother. I not only feel bad for you, but I feel even more sorry for your parents , and brothters and sisters, which I hope you were an only child. I'll bet, your one of those people in your neighborhood, that has trouble with everyone, and can't get along with no one. I bet you don't even get along very well with yourself most of the time. You know your a real case, when you can't even get along with yourself. I hope you spend your wellfare ckeck on more then drugs a boose. If you have any children I would hope you would think of them first, but you don.t seem like that type. I wrote of you before, and my offer sitl stands, if you ever consider counseling, you have my suport, and I may even donate funds to help you thru the rehab process. You do not have to live on welfare, you could pick yourself up by your boot straps and do something with your life. “CAUTION” this may involve more than just sitting around collecting free money, and playing on your keyboard all day, just trying to make other people feel as miserable as you do. Have you thought about returning to school, you might even learn what a real coservative is and what liberals are, then you would'nt be stuck in your state of confusion. I still think your more a “want to be” conservative then actually being one. If you can gat your head out of your ass long enough to get a little oxygen. this will help your confusion also.

Hey Angie, you really need to quit buying into this 895's bullshit, I think thats what fuels him. Do you really think that him of all people, recieved a check. He dose not even qualify for benefits. You have to work to get that. If he did get any money its that welfare check he was talking about . Welfare is “FREE” money from us too, but he dose'nt know that . Unemployment checks, are checks that you earned. This tells all about his confusion, and lack of knowledge about these things, “Like thinking he's a conservative ” thats how far from reality he is. He just likes to get you all rawled up, I think he climaxes on shit like that. Don't let him get under your skin, I would hate to see you end up with an infection. Hope you get your check in time for christmas, and I wish you a very merry christmas and a happy new year, to you and yours. Have a fantastic day :) .

Okay,

To sum up the problem. This is what economist call a structural unemployment problem with jobs that are not coming back.

Solution.

1.)Not be 30th in the World in Education, government should subsidize education at all levels even for the unemployed.

2.) Encourage exports and FREE Trade with partners that pay workers a living wage- not a communist 55 cents and hour.

3.) Government to support venture capital and Moon shot Science projects. Support small business lending.

4.) Universities to stop acting like the Communist themselves offering fellowships or humanities/under water backet weaving and encouraging math and science over propaganda.

I'm a republican and I can't fiqure out what the “nit witts” are doing? I must be ouy of touch, I thought their job was to keep the people of the USA safe, and help if necessary! I know they write/install new laws and rules and other things? However, this crap with “us and them”s go!
these Bozo's work for, and a paid by the people of this great nation and should perform with that in mind, not “whats in it for ME”
It's damn embarrassing to watching these Clowns make some of their decisions/votes! If a family lost it's job, can't buy groceries or pay their mortgage – THAT AMERICAN NEEDS HELP!! form his country – period!! Hell, we feed half the world but won't take care of the people who live here!
We need to clean house and take out the baggage/trash and get on track!

Amen to that!!!!! I couldn't of said it better. I am a very strong minded republican myself, alway have been always will be. But you are right. Come election time Its going to be time for the voices of the “AMERICAN” people to be heard. We all have to send a strong message to Washington, to “both” sides of the isle, republican and democrat alike period . We really need to clean up the corruption on both sides. We have filled Washington full of liars, cheats, crooks scam artist, idulters, she (Washington) needs a thurough cleaning to heal her of her siskness. I believe this nation is begining to feel fed up with their shit. Remember people “VOTE SMART” this election. Maybe its time to put in independents, I don't know, but I know this is not working for any of us. God Bless you all, God bless America, and I wish all who read this a very blessed Christmas, and the very best New Year, that you have ever had.

are you still slithering around arent you looking for a job like the rest of us? remember your benny package runs out next week thanks to your loving gops

YOUR AN ASSHOLE PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had to compliment you on your choice of words to discribe the real definition of a “895″ . I just can't force my fingers to type “conservative in front of that . But very well put, you should get an “A” for the day period !!! Merry Christmas to you and your's and wish you all a very happy New Year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

us citizen why thank you sir, i thought that about summed it up!i wish i could meet him im person, that wold make my xmas but hes probably in a trailor in mississippi drinking beer and playing with himself waiting for his next benny check, and is really pissed off because he cant buy beer with his food stamps.MERRY XMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALSO SIR, IT WILL BE SMALL HERE IN FLORIDA FOR US BUT WELL GET THRU IT!!! LETS JUST PRAY THEY MOVE THIS DEADLINE DATE SO WE CAN AT LEAST GET OUR LAAST 6 WEEKS, IM SURE WELL BE TALKING IN JANUARY WHILKE WE ARE WATCHING THE COMEDY CHANNEL CALLED THE US SENATE VOTES ON UNEMPLOYMENT HAHA LOL LOVE ANGIE

895: CAN U BUY BEER WITH YOUR FOOD STAMPS OR JUST YOUR BENNY CHECK?

bought a real nice bottle of patron. think my next purchase will be a kayak. thank you obaaamaaa.

895 you are an insult to humanity, enjoy the PATRON it will keep the fleas off you….

You are so right,,I cant say that load enough. I agree that there needs to be a real deep cleaning, then start from scratch,,cant get or be any worse. I have analyzed our government panel and let me tell you,,I am embarrassed of this panel we have as our government, what are they really doing when sitting around that big conference table deciding what they are going to spend their next big pay check on and deciding which of us peons out here that they are looking to screw with, I am appalled,sickened but mostly saddened of this, who can be proud of something we have no control over and have to sit back and watch them endlessly screw up, this country. All we need to do is rid of those who dont give a hoot about anyone or anything except themselves. We, who actually make this country need to stick together and ” MAKE A DIFFERENCE ” I am ready are y'all

There is so much that can be done successfully, that could and would turn this mess all around, stop supporting other countries and their people,who in their right mind would support other countries and not your own, that makes no sense at all. The judicial system needs alot of work I mean alot, prisons, dont get me started on that, when you are arrested and thrown in the city jail,,why are you treated so badly,,'INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY” getting thrown in jail starts a whole list of things that is going to affect that individual, to much to go into but I have been doing research and there could stand a CHANGE. I am reaady to “MAKE A DIFFERENCE” are you? It will take alot of work but it can be done. We as the people need to be the ones to take the stand, fight for our rights,our country,our freedon and fight for CHANGE.

Hi Lori, thank you for your comment it is appreciated . When your ready to start another movment in and for this country, just let me know how I can help and I will be there for you . I will be right there with you all the way to the end . We can make a change in this country. All the American people have to do is “believe” that we can change things , and don't give up untill it comes. We the people made it this way, we the people can change it. Have a fantastic day :-) .

now that a 2 month extention hasbeen passed, will there be the extra 6 weeks ?

Ive got a crazy idea on how to lower the unemployment rate – cut taxes! Lower taxes = more business = more jobs.

I also think this is a great idea.

I also think this is a great idea.

Hopefully the economic crisis to an end.

about the president’s birth certificate

Carl Levin (D-Mich.) to instead emphasize the training of Afghan soldiers and police.

Specter said, adding that he questioned “even staying” in Afghanistan unless the administration demonstrates that continuing the war is “indispensable to our fight against al-Qaeda.” His position, he said, came as a result of extensive consultations with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Adm. Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the heads of the intelligence community, as well as antipathy to the government of Hamid Karzai.

The problem with extending unemployment benefits is there is now little incentive for the unemployed to seek work. I have a friend who gets the same amount weekly from unemployment that he got working as an electrician. You think he has any incentive to find work? No, none at all.

Your friend must have had a low paying Electrician's job. The max for benefits in Cali is $475.00 a week. I made way more than that when I was employed, plus I had benefits. What people do not realize is that if the benefits are not extended..there will be more lay offs. I have had to postpone payments on my cell phone ( need it to find work, do not have a land line), my utility bills, groceries, computer ISP..need that to find work also, need gas to find work, rent is late, etc. So it will be another trickle down effect. So unless they are really trying to bankrupt America…they have no choice but to pass the bill!
