Unemployed need to march on the capitol

The unemployed need to march on the Capitol,let them see the Americans that are suffering because of the political games the're playing.Causing Americans to suffer to push your political agenda is just plane unamerican.
For the people by the people, I don't know any true Americans that want to see people loose there jobs,homes,and there savings just so they can get something Free there is nothing free our FREEDOM wasn't FREE our forfathers fought for it and many other patriots have fought to keep it!
The unemployed need to have there voice heard and I think most all would say they want there JOBS back NOT Health care,or any other non essential bills passed until unemployment is back under 5%
And unemployment will continue to rise until Government gets out of the way!
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!!

No, the all knowing VC says they can do a couple of things at once so Healthcare needs to go forward.

They march on Capitol Hill, they can't afford to get there. Remember they don't have a job.

They need Calypso Louie to show them how to organize a march!

To bad they have no money to protest.

Done that in the past, I thought it was a wasted trip.

Lol, been gone for a few days for some R&R out west. Come back to find that our resident brain trust still has the reading comprehension of a sloth.

But it does my heart good to know that I'm making you so loopy that you'd misquote me...out of context, no less.

Nice try VC, not at all out of context. It was right in context. As I recall, I'm the one who asked why waste the time with healthcare when it was jobs people wanted. You made the claim this bunch in DC was quite capable of doing more than one thing at a time.

I was one of the unemployed a year ago so here is how I sum it up.

I was on unemployment and I was looking for a job but couldn't find one making what I was making so I sat on unemployment. I figured heck at 570 a week I can do this for almost 2 years and then I will start looking. Well reality started sinking in so I started feeling guilty and went and got a job making 14 an hour. Then I said WAIT! this won't pay my bills and I ain't making the same on unemployment so I went out and got a second job. Oh well life's a beach and you gotta do what you gotta do. So all you 100k a year out of work people better get your applications in a MC D's cause they are hiring and so is Dairy Queen, Lowe's, Burger King ect ect ect so shut up pull your sleeves up and start flipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have friends out of work too. Told them the way it is GO GET A JOB and don't wait for that cushy corner office. The guy that hired me said "you don't look like a janitor" I told him I'm not but would try like hell to do my best.

Wow! Maybe you should concider yourself lucky! It depends on what part of the country you are in.. Cost of moving and paying rent.. Cost of trying to move your family to relocate where you are at. That ot the cost of trying to pay for 2 places at the same time.. Yeah flipping burgers cover that right!! Care to tell us another joke? It might do OK if you are already living in the area in question but a side from that you had better rethink it..

Yeah, there is 1 Mc D's, no Lowes or dary Queen ect,, for 100 miles at the closest. With an 18% unemployment rate in this area I am sure there is a lot of jobs left for the unemployed.. But, we are trying to change that here..
