What will these unemployed do when their benefits run out? Will they be homeless and standing in long lines at soup kitchens? My heart goes out to them and I think CNN should consider follow up reports on these five, very brave, young individuals.
What will bring us back are good MANUFACTURING jobs!!! That is the back bone of this country!! New wind and solar plants!!! We NEED a strong base and not based on WALL ST. GREED!!! National Health care is a must so people do not get rich on the sick and dying!
Define responsible Homeowners as mentioned by President Obama? I am an unemployed Real Estate Broker that went from making $150,000 a year to making $14,000.00 today, working for Wal-Mart. Explain credit scores and the inability to get back on my feet at very low credit?
Where were these people,like Fred Thompson and Beoner, when George Bush was pawning our future by borrowing billions of dollars from China,Japan and India,to fund an immoral war in Iraq?
They have nothing to say so "SHUT UP"!
