Reid vs Angle Comes to Capitol Hill

Just call me a “mather” but I have done the math finding that the Obama/Pelosi/Reid triad have plunged us into a debt from which there appears to be no recovery.
The math reveals that at current interest rates it would take 50 or more years to amortize the current national debt. That would require a balanced budget (say zero deficit) and payments of a half-trillion dollars every year faithfully for 50+ years. But the triad just keeps spending, wasn’t the stimulus supposed to save the economy? Did it? Can it?
So, if unemployment benefits are continued at least 43 cents of every dollar spent must be borrowed.
How about more “mathers” spreading the word on what Obama/Pelosi/Reid are doing to us, doing to America! Pass the math to ten others.

The Republicans are killing us …Hopefully they see how shakey Wallstreet is because of consumer confidence is down again..Put that $$$ back into the ecomomy extend the benefits ..It all goes back anyway,,Oh Wait ! Iam according to Orin Hatch,,,gonna go get doped up and drunk! all the while watching my phone get turned off , Insurance get cancelled, my loan default. and vehicle repossesed..Already lost my home..Come to think of it maybe he’s right, it might kill the pain that’s inside. Keep praying folks !! I am trying hard to keep the pressure on please do the same..They are hearing it ,but not listening ,yet…Tell their staffers your hardships, Make them cry as you have. Make them feel their conscience. Touch their hearts and souls put your child on the line and let them hear their voices “please help mommy and daddy.”..This is the cold hard truth that needs to be on the airwaves.
( Our Legislatures),say they are for relief for the unemployed ,but it is not the top priority today ..You know, supreme court confirmations and general’s and all that is very URGENT! All The while families are at high anxiety levels. Bankers and creditors charging overdrafts and late fees now. I would love to see them add to the Bill when they ever get to it, that if extentions are provided, then any overdraft charges or late charges due to their failure to respond in a timely manner be waived for those who depended on those benefits. The US legislatures have caused this element by their negligence to their constituants thus furhering hardships not deserving. I pray for each and every law maker in this country to step aside of their political positions and do what is moarally right and not waste one precious second in helping their own countrymen. Are you listening?

I understand there are people out there who don’t want to work.However I have applied for jobs on a daily basis by searching on the internet,faxing my resume to different places and haven’t no one have call me back. Those who are saying Obama and the democrrats have drive this country down please think back when this economy crash as far as i can think back Bush was the one whom drive us under the ground Obama have pull us up above.I have work with my job for almost 6yrs now I am unemployed but I hate sitting home so I am currently enroll in school in the meantime I am looking for a job.I have two kids and their dad doesnt live in this country so I am pretty much a single mom and need a job that is goingto pay me enough to cover child care for my kids and still be able to pay the neccessary bills so pardon me if I cant work for minimum wage.While you sit on your high horses and get private planes and bonus that led us in this economic disaster.PAST THE BILL OR PROVIDE JOBS

How many billions were given to GM to bail them out ?? Then they took off with the money and sold the company
There were people buying worthless GM stock until they stopped their ticker .
But The American worker is expendable .Why dont we pick fruit ??
Because they wont hire us , You have to be an illegal , or you wont get hired ..
I was on the floor at a book store dot com and unless you were Hispanic and spoke spanish ,no way you were getting a job .. Im not lieing
Go for it .. They will not hire english speaking Americans ,white or black young or old .. So conservatives with your get a job mentality .. Check it out try to get a blue collar job
Now try being over 45 ,American and a woman ,or try being a grey haired man
and starting a carreer at the bottom wrung again and learning and earning from teh bottom up again .. Its a death sentence ,but then again when you lose everthing you worked for it isnt really living anyway .The real problem is there are very few jobs for Americans due to prejudice against Americans in America . Senators ,members of congress , try walking in the shoes of the people you lead .. You are shutting the door on 10%
of this country .I have always been a conservative , But now Im watching Hardball with C mathews .No more fox

I work for a company for 19 year.( Was layoff)lost my job though no fault of my own) I wish Angle could walk in my
shoes for a week. Yes, my job is looking for a job. And the scary part is I don’t think its their.PAST THE BILL OR PROVIDE JOBS.

The folks who are and should collect Unemployment benefits are NOT the ones who are lazy.They are laid off not welfare people get it straight!

You know I have waited for 5 weeks now reading everything I can about this whole mess. It is a shame I don’t care who’s fault it is were in this shape in this country it’s been a long time coming. I have been laid off for 6 months now my last UI check was for $58.00 they said after 13 years with same company my benifits ran out I was done. I have worked in the same feild for 30 years since I was 15 years old, I am now 47. I have been through a lot of hard things in my life but I raised my daughters and believe in working hard and to be honest and fair. You know my oldest 20 year old girl is in the US Army been deployed once getting ready to go again, My wife had breast cancer one year after our wedding had both breasts removed, My 13 year old daughter lives with her mother which drinks booze all day long and won’t do anything with her. I still say you keep your head up work hard be honest. Our country needs to take care of there own first how far are they going to take us down the tubes. You know I watch them debate this on tv one guy had his two kids on there with him just to have a fun day with dad, You know I miss my daughter thats at war right now. But anyway so after 30 years of paying in I get 6 months of UI 360.00 and my whole life depends on it until I can get another job.

Ditto, Andy!! My husband worked for the same company for over 31 years and was laid off in January 2009 through no fault of his own. My husband is 55. How long does Angle expect my husband to work before he can climb the corporate ladder and make what he made when he was laid off? 86???? What do we do now with mortgage payments, college tuition, food, clothing, etc…Claim bankruptcy? Foreclose on the house?
Oh…collect food stamps and welfare. What a way to stimulate the economy, idiot! Where in the he** did you get your diploma? I haven’t seen Cracker-Jack boxes in a long time, so maybe it was conterfieted. I guess everything my husband has worked for goes “out the window”??? We need jobs that pay more than the minimum wage…especially at this stage in his life. What about eveyone else, like the 99er’s? What can they do now? My husband continues to look for work EVERY DAY…..they take one look at him and snicker behind his back….let’s get real…who will hire my husband at his age?

Angle needs to loose everything before she opens her big mouth. She not only wants people and children living on the streets, she wants our old people there as well. Angle has no idea how many people are suffering on unemployment, let alone, now not having an income at all. I have worked for the last 30+ years, I have paid into the unemployed benefit and never have had to look at the benefit for 30 years until now. I lost my job when my company was sold and moved out of state. I worked for the company for 15 years and received nothing upon my forced departure. I search every week at least 20 to 30 job applications I submit to different companies. Because I have employment that stems back to the 1980′s, I do not even get a call back from employers. I have to say that I have seen on company websites “If you are on unemployment, you need not apply”. Explain that Mrs Angle. Why don’t you put you time to go after companies that post that garbage on their website. Then maybe the tax payers money will be paying you for something. Before people start talking about the national debt, maybe they should loose everything and see how it feels.

What crack pipe is Angle smoking from? Let’s see Senators and Congressmen get paid $180,000 a year for doing nothing and unemployment pays $300 a week. I made $45 thousand a year before Bush sent my work to China!
Believe me I would rather have my job back than live on unemployment!

Angle wants a class war!
Maybe it is time that the have nots start fighting for what is our right to have! Equality!

“She not only wants people and children living on the streets, she wants our old people there as well.” Amother victim of the Reid “true part of fear” propaganda machine. His ads show a little old couple eating soup at a kitchen table, while an announcer soloemnly intones that out elderly citizens depend on Social Security that Sharon Angle wants to eliminte. Angle is NOT trying to terminate Social Security immediately and leave those on it in the lurch. She advocates phasing it out, with new entrants receiving fewer benefits (which in reality is not much different from many contibutors pulling out less than they put in). Eventually no one else would be receiving benefits and the whole money pit could finally can be scrapped, as it should be. Sixty years ago Social Security was the only alternative to personal savings and company pensiions. Now that there are plenty of retirement alternatives (such as 401k’s, Keough’s, Roth and traditional IRAs, insured annuities, and mutual funds) Social Security has outlived its time.

well people all this rescission is doing is putting more money in the hands of the employer. jobs that use to pay 20 dollars a hour are now paying 12 because they know people are desperate. its got to come down to saying no more and doing something about it. things are not going to change..

People, I’ve worked very hard all my life; but I lost my house last year after I was laid-off for a long time. I was expecting to jump right back to work, when I received the bad news, but I couldn’t fight the economy. I ended up losing my American Dream because Unemployment Pays only 1/3 to 1/4 of what I made before the recession. Right now, my family is barely surviving this (man made) disaster. We cut back on EVERYTHING from not buying eggs to getting the worst quality detergents.
These extensions are meant to keep my family from ending up on the street. PLEASE DON’T Take Any More From US! All we want is to survive another few months to get back on our feet. Sharron Angle has ZERO clue of the realities of an Average American. Her Senator Lifestyle has made her think She’s Queen Of the World. Why would I want to be on Unemployment when working has SOOO much more perks!

Angle needs to go to prison now!

lol Robert, i sent 5 applications in less than a week and i got a job easy, your just not looking in the right places.

Adam, feel free to share with us what state are you in and where did you submit your resume; a lot of us would like to know!

Sharron Angel said The job doesn’t pay as much as the unemployment? What? Unemployment does Not pay as much as the job. you only get a portion of unemployment for the same time period than what you got when you used to worked.
Sharron Angel at the same time also criticized contractors who work temporary contract jobs. Yet Temporary contract work is good pay, and when a job is over, you get another. Contractors don’t go on unemployment. Plus if your good at what you do, they call to offer you another temporary job.
So Sharron Angel is wrong to say that temporary contract workers are just lazy and want to collect unemployment.

Angle supposedly represents the new Tea Party. We all knew that the Tea Party was largely white and had sufficient income. Why should they care about the unemployed? Well, in November, I doubt that the economy will be much better. There seems to have been a shift in the global economy towards China, Brazil and India. America and Europe are either not growing economically or growing very slowly. The GOP and the Tea Party want to shut the spigot off and force people into a corner or onto the street. Stop the stimulus and healthcare reform. Stop financial reform. But keep drilling. Give businesses tax cuts so maybe they hire a couple of the unemployed. Make the US more corporation friendly. Cut the taxes on the rich so they will invest in the economy. Trickle down economics. Reagan would be smiling. Unfortunately Americans aren’t.

It appears the issue of extension of jobless benefit , currently blocked in the Senate, is not only the conflict between Reid and Angle in Nevada election, but also a conflict between Obama’s spend-borrow-spend approaches and the rest of conservative minded people in America and EU, who are in deep fear of sky high deficit and debt.
