With More and More People Falling Through the Cracks

and ending up jobless with absolutely no income, a few of them are trying to organize and make their views known to the morons in Washington.

There is supposed to be a major rally on October 2, but of course the vast majority of us don't live within 12 hours of D.C., so we are shit out of luck if we have no way of getting there.

Mathewson is part of a growing army of so-called 99ers, the estimated 3.5 million unemployed workers who will have fallen off the jobless benefit rolls by the end of the year. Their prospects for finding new work are dim. The U.S. economy continues to shed jobs and the national unemployment rate is 9.6%; the August jobless rate in California was 12.4%.

Actually, there are a lot  more than 3.3 million unemployed who have exhausted all benefits right now.  But since both political parties are bought off by the financial elite, don't expect any help to ever happen.

I exhausted all unemployment benefits in July.  I don't have any illusions I will ever see a dime more.

What these activists have to realize is this jobless crisis is deliberate because the neoliberals in both political parties want it this way.   They want to reduce wages to Chinese levels, and one way to do this is to create a demand for the few jobs out there.  Never mind these morons don't understand there are far more of us than there are of them, and social unrest is inevitable.

It's bound to get worse if the GOP controls one or both houses of Congress after November.
