They must make enough to live on.
They employ millions.

As long as there are long term extensions there is no incentive to get out there and be a productive member.

The hotel/motel industry is always hiring.



no they partially employ millions very rarely do you get over 30 hours and most don't get over 20

most have other jobs or they're in a household where others are also working

This sounds closer to what I thought.

Yea, Texas is a very conservative state. No Union or labor Organizations here to limit a source of jobs or stiffle growth.
BTW, I raised my children when I started out at minimum wage. I don't just believe, I know it can be done.


If I were to work at a minimum wage job full time, the pay would just barely cover rent. That leaves pretty much nothing for other expenses.


Stop whining! Move.grumble

Oh, I'm not whining. I'm simply stating that not everyone can live on minimum wage. It's awesome that where you live is so cheap that you can afford it. However, it isn't like that everywhere.

If someone were to lose their job and have to take a minimum wage job, but could barely afford rent, would you expect them to be able to save up the money they need to move as well? That would be tough if they were struggling to afford necessities already.

I like mine better....one each! I don't support either of the big spending, warmonging, banker puppets!

I want a little pride back in America and either of these clowns will just continue to draw laughs and tears!

Lol do we have to explain it to you? He would in act policies that would encourage private sector job growth. That is what he is saying. You can't just create jobs as government but your policies can encourage or discourage the private sector from hiring.

She isn't whining; she is making a point. We have people here on minimum wage that leave in homeless shelters. The lowest rent there is runs about $1,000 a month and they don't get subsidized. At $9.00 an hour; your rent will eat most of your pay.

got it,, so why say government cant create jobs and then say you will create jobs?


if a government can be held responsible for unemployment, certainly there is some capacity in which they influence employment


Im not diagreeing with your statement, IM disagreeing with the inconsistent message in the campaign rhetoric,,,,

That's what BS usually does MsH.... confuses, and we're getting it 2nd hand from the best BS speechwriters money can buy!

You know the old adage...."If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, simply baffle them with BS!"

Some people don't understand that it isn't the same everywhere.

the CHRONICALLY unemployed?

I read a lot of other forums and I find, the Liberal consensus seem to be they never will and they will take full advantage.

Where is the incentive to get those who have been retired on unemployment back to really looking for work?

My Mama told me once, and she was speaking to me. If I wanted a job, they are out there. Why was I sitting on my a$$ during the weekend instead of out hustling for a job?

Again? Where is the push to get them back out there?
Just wondering what your line of work is? Do you work?

Sorry about your health issues but I often wonder if people are well enough to type and blog why they are to ill to work as a secretary or as a paid blogger or even answer phones.

I work everyday and pay taxes that support programs that help people and know it is my obligation to live in a society that is descent to help others who cannot work but it just seems so many people just give up and do not get trained to do the jobs there health will allow them to do.

Just sayin

Thanks.
They've gotten much better since i quit smoking 4 years ago.

I don't and never have allowed health to stop me from doing what i know I need to get done. I learned how to work around it.

I guess, if I was to call it something, would be workaholic. I wake up at 6 every morning. Have a couple cups of coffee and my meds. Turn on the comp and make breakfast. Sit at the comp. while I eat. Then head out to do what needs done.

I take my routine breaks and my phone has internet.

I don't make a lot. Don't spend for cable and many months some bills are put on wait.

I do have an inner peace knowing I am one of the fortunate ones to have a strong work ethic. Kind of have to thank discrimination for that.

I had custody of two kids. Was on welfare while the youngest was still in diapers. I saw welfare mothers only having to get re-certified once or twice a year. Because I was male, I had to go in every month.

Made me chomp at the bit for my kid to get potty trained so I could get off that welfare. It is a derogatory life-style. I always felt like crap and could have no privacy. The Gov could have come into my home without warning to make sure I was doing a good parenting job.

You wouldn't believe how many times I was asked by welfare workers,"Why aren't the kids with their Mother?

It was simple. I got physical custody, got a good attorney and fought like hell to keep my kids. The judge even discriminated by putting her on a sliding scale child support. NTW, which she never paid and no Support Enforcement agent would investigate.

Really sad, other men just allow the woman to get custody instead of fighting to get them.

One day, and I would feel bad for the chronically unemployed but, I can't, they will find themselves at the end of their free ride. I predict, there will be many who freak out and wind up either in jail or in the ground because they have lost the will to do for themselves.

Many gonna' want to blame the greedy tax payers and won't understand it was from their own greed and lack of drive that got them where they are. Not lack of jobs. They are all over the place.

If I had/have to, I move to where the jobs are. But then, that's just what I and a lot other hard working stiffs would do to be our own person.
