If companies refuse to hire unemployed or more importantly long term unemployed people, then unemployment benefits need to be extended indefinitely.
I don't call a 13 week extension of UE benefits a victory over 2 years of continued tax breaks. There's also talk of raising the retirement age to collect Social Security. If anything it needs to be lowered to 62. Force these companies to hire! Only 4% of Fortune 500 companies showed a decrease in profits last year. Don't let these spinners fool you, 96% of those companies are swimming in cash, and yet creating zero new jobs. *Ronald Reagan created 28 million jobs while increasing the debt. *Bill Clinton created 23 million jobs while decreasing the debt. *George Bush II created zero jobs despite tax breaks. *Barrack Obama has created zero jobs despite spending, although he hasn't been in office as long as Bush was. Meanwhile the rich have doubled, tripled and quadrupled their wealth in 10 years. While labor is being asked to settle for the same wages they had 40 years ago. Ideology, debts or taxes have absolutely NOTHING to do with creating jobs despite any rhetoric otherwise. The rich have never been richer. The proof is in the demonstrable facts, not in lies and misinformation. I should feel sorry for the rich? Not a chance in hell. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
