I am 53 years old and have never drawn unemployment in my life until now.  If politicians think I am making it on 60-70 percent less than I think it is time to make some serious changes.  It is amazing just how many Americans and Politicians do not realize the issues we are facing. It is time to take a hard look at our politicians, the Men and Women we vote into office who should have our best interest in mind with their VOTES. It seems we are putting people in office who do not begin to understand the immediate issues at hand.  Where was everyone when Bush started this growing deficit nightmare? When the economy started on this downward spiral?  I understand this administration has had spending issues but how much of the spending issues came out of situations building for years. How could you not have seen this coming? Yes, it is time to let go of blame and let’s pull together and get rid of these Politicians that would rather send monies to foreign countries and accept raises when so many Americans are out of a job.  What happens when an escalating 15 million unemployed Americans do not have the means to pay Utilities, Mortgages, supply food for their families? Please, just tell me how this will strengthen the country?  When do Americans begin to realize and understand that if you take away benefits in a fragile failing economy, from a growing number of unemployed people, America’s economy will fail more! Yes the Deficit will be lower, oh wait, I am sure the monies will go to some foreign cause more important than taking care of Americans, Right?  Please all of you who think there are jobs and people just do not want them, please try and make it on 60 % less of your pay for 6 months and then you might begin to understand.  I guess it is true we are a selfish self-centered nation!
