As layoffs continue, unemployment is expected to climb again this week. csmonitor.com "Unemployment is not going to go down significantly for a long time," says Maurice Emsellem, director of the National Employment Law Project This week Congress was moving to approve a budget resolution that would allow a tax cut somewhere between the $726 billion approved by the House and $350 billion settled on by the Senate. no one maintains a tax cut would do much good for many of the long-term jobless before their unemployment benefits run out at the end of May. Congress extended those benefits by 13 weeks beyond the normal 26 weeks earlier in the year.

Selfish and cunning - perfect description of the men behind GW. In fact make that VERY selfish and VERY cunning, more than any other administration in our lifetimes. Sadly, they dont seem to give a bleep about most people they are claiming to protect. While we're safe from some mythical attack by Saddam we're less secure than we've ever been economically. Why do people put up with this? Maybe it's just a sense of post 9-11 helplessness where many Americans just give it all up in some way? They feel secure with all the strong talk out of the White House and the military action, even if most of it doesn't solve any real problems for us, just benefits the few in their inner circle.
