Fuck the Republican Party.

[kroqken]

Why do Republicans care more about the rich corporate fat cats than the regular folks. Today, the Republicans fillibustered a bill to death in the U.S. Senate that would have extended unemployment beneefits to those unemployed over 6 months. In the "Great Recession", the WORST ECONOMY since the 1930s, NOT ONE Republican voted to end the filibuster. What a shame. Kudos to the 57 senators, all Democrats that care about Main Street, not just Wall Street. END FILIBUSTERS, all bills should need a majority only, not 60 votes for cloture.

[daxton]

Because they are bad, soulless people.

[bmack86]

Maybe those people should get jobs and quit their bitchin.

[kroqken]

Seriously, they are not just a different philosophy, I truly believe the current Republican is a source of EVIL, a dangerous vapid force that I will spend the resto f my life to defeat over and over again. Too many sheep and lemmings do not pay attention while they continue their destructive path. (Oh and the Tea Party is dangerous too)!

The economy SUCKS, the demand for jobs > the supply for jobs.

[TommyboyUNM]

Ken, let's talk about IV.

KEN.

A MINORITY of senators should not trample over the will of the majority. It is that simple. The president's veto power, and the power to override is enough of a "check" on congressional power. The LA Times had a good editorial a few deays ago arguing for the abolishment of the filibuster.

[kroqken]

Ken, let's talk about IV.

I am not an aficianado on IV drugs, and according to the autopsy, neither was Jay Reatard. Jay's rhythm section is playing with Wavves now!

[bmack86]

See, they got new jobs

Most people lack the talent of Jay Reatard's rhythm section. Few people are gifted. Here are two gifted people (both dead): Ian Curtis of Joy Division and the late senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota.

[bmack86]

If they were talented, then Jay Reatard wouldn't have fired them.

More jobs come from small businesses than large corporations overall.

You have to enforce antitrust laws. Also, health and safety regulations are important. Also, the labor unions should have an easier time to organize at these various companies.

Ken, tell us more about the late Senator from Minnesota.

There is the theory of the moebius, a twist in the fabric of space, where time becomes a loop . . .

[Archie Bunker]

Let's see...

I can either go to work, or the government can pay me not to work.

Hmmm...

Tough choice.

Hopefully the Democrats will get the benefits extended, so all of those hardworking people who spend 40 hours/week unsuccessfully looking for employment won't end up on the street.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Where's Ken when you need him?

[SoulDischarge]

That's a trick question.

I have worked my entire life from the age of 16, had been at my last job for 10 years, but unfortunately the industry I was in took a hard hit. I was on unemployment for 3 months, got a job for 6 months and then got laid off again. My unemployment ran out May 31. Trust me, I was out looking, sending resumes to every company I could find hiring. I even agreed to work for $10/hour instead of the $24/hour I use to make and still had trouble finding a job. Luckily I finally found one but there are people out there who haven't. It really isn't that easy. The company I work for now placed an ad and received 900 resumes within 3 days before they pulled the ad. I have a pretty impressive resume with a good work history and it took quite a while to find a job.

And if you think I wanted to sit at home making $265/week you are all insane.

[canexplain]

Yea you are overeacting because they say this will only add 900,000 more people not making any money to spend and help the ecomomy. Fuck them, let them live with their parents or something.
