Because Both Political Parties Serve the Same Interests,

Washington hasn't done one goddamned thing for the jobless, other than push back UI filing dates.  Remember, BUSH was the president who, at the end of his term when the economy tanked, signed the real extensions on UI.

Obama appears to be against any kind of job creation program involving the federal government ala FDR, and only that, plus drastically raising taxes on the rich and abolishing outsourcing of jobs, will get the economy back on track.

But both parties seem not to give a shit the country is plunged toward third worldom.
