    9 KB Expired Unemployment Benefits Causing Panic, Desperation: 'I'm Drowning Fast' Ned the Newshound !XBW.lrXjxw 07/02/10(Fri)08:16 No.1547112  
    Debra Rousey of Gainesville, Georgia, says that she received an unemployment check of $194 last week, half the usual amount she receives, along with a letter announcing that this check would be her last. She is now in a complete panic over what to do next.

    "I'm desperate and devastated," she told HuffPost. "I didn't get any warning. I was barely making ends meet on $330 a week, trying to diaper my grandchild and put food on the table for the four people I support. What do I do now? How am I going to make rent next month? I keep thinking, 'If I end up in a cardboard box, can I find one big enough for everybody, or do I have to send my son to live with someone else?'"

    Since Rousey, 45, was laid off from her job as a branch manager for Suntrust bank in November, she says she has been "frantically looking" for a job -- everything from entry-level marketing positions to a fry cook job at McDonalds -- but hasn't had an interview in months. As of tomorrow, she will be one of nearly 1.7 million people whose unemployment benefits have prematurely expired while Congress sits on legislation that would renew those benefits.

    "I hate being on unemployment," Rousey said. "I haven't applied for food stamps or Medicaid for myself because I have a work ethic that says if I want to eat, I want to work to eat. I don't want a handout. But right now I'm at the breaking point. If I don't come up with cash quick, everything will be cut off within two weeks , gas, electric, water. Five people will be displaced. How am I supposed to come up with the money?"

    Her problem is she has pride.
    Her problems are her own fault (problems being running out of food), if she had gotten food stamps for all those months she wouldn't be in such a panic as should could have saved money.

    Doubt she applied for a job at McDonalds. They'll hire just about any nigger that walks through the door. Maybe she did and they just got tired of over qualified people getting bitchy when a neanderthal tells them to clean shit off the floor in the bathroom.

    $388 a week? I think I've had several jobs that didn't pay any more than that after taxes.

    She was paying for them. When you get laid off, they don't let you sell them though.

    Wait, so the problem is that we don't have the right mix of social programs that cater to her sense of self worth?

    So it isn't enough that we pay the unemployed, offer financial assistance so that they and their families can get food (food stamps) and access to healthcare (medicaid), we have to do it in such a way that they don't feel *poor*?

    Fuck you lady. We should extend your unemployment benefits to help keep the economy from falling into a double dip recession, but you are a world class cunt.

    I was working three jobs and taking other work until the kids were old enough to kick out. The wife followed soon after. Now I only work when I want to.

    We need to raise taxes so people who don't have enough money to raise their kids can take some from people who do have enough to raise their kids so that they can become people who don't have enough money to raise their kids so we can raise taxes.

    I have no sympathy for her. There are plenty of jobs out there, its her own fault if she is too lazy to work hard and be rich like everyone else.

    She was on unemployment with a bunch of kids.
    She pays nothing. She's qualified for welfare, food stamps, rent controlled housing, state medical.. all sorts of shit.
