  • Love your post!! Finally someone got it right!!! Would you mind if I put a blogroll link back to your post? :)

  • gained jobs… is that a different way of saying they lost their pension money and were forced to reenter the workforce?

  • I guess those 75+ olders are the “shovel ready” people that Obama has been thinking about.
    Of course, the unemployment data only counts the people who are eligible for benefits. Maybe 9% of them died?
    Can a 16 year old get unemployment benefits?

  • There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points here. Thanks!
